I changed the email server in settings and all my stored emails are gone! Win10, Tbird 115.10.1. How do I get them back? Only one Email acct of three are stored on the server and those get downloaded to a different computer and then removed from the server.

Background: I was wondering why I didn't get any new emails for a few days and apparently GoDaddy migrated servers without telling me. So the settings there were screwed up as a result of a "~" instead of a "-" in the server name which the tech support guy changed. I was eventually able to access emails at my GD acct using their webmail.

But the server name changed so new emails weren't downloading to my computer. I went into Tbird settings and changed the SMTP servers to the new server address and now I don't have ANY of the old emails which I neglected to backup. ALL I did was to change the server address.

Is there a way to change/view/merge the T-bird user folders so I can access the old emails, folder and directory? Thanks, Bob

I presume this is an IMAP account, in which the messages are stored on the server. By changing server name, you lost access to the messages. Again, if this is an IMAP account, and if the old servers are still accessible, you could change back to the old server names. If that doesn't work, I suggest contacting Godaddy for assistance in recovery, since they are the ones who initiated this.
