On my work computer (PC running Windows 7) I wanted to remove an e-mail account from the accounts section and ad in my new e-mail address. I selected to remove it and it never warned me that my 2000+ e-mails from the past 5 years would be removed. This is not acceptable. How can I recover my e-mail?

Kind Regards Michael

You have done the equivalent of sitting in a swing and cutting off the branch it hangs from. You are not alone in doing so, which it why this article exists. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_deleted_mail_accounts
