how can i recover my thunderbird set up
I was trying to create a profile folder to copy set up to a new computer but accidentally moved the files instead of copying them. i have tried to move them back but cannot find the path - users/user/appdata/roaming/thunderbird\profiles so now thunderbird can't find the profile on the original computer and i have lost the whole set up. can anyone tell me how I can recover this or undo it or tell thunderbird to look in a different place to recover the set up as i have various accounts and e mail signatures etc that i dont want to have to start from scratch.

If you allow it to set up a new profile, then Help|Troubleshooting Information has a button that will take you to where your new profile is, and you can use that as a starting point for re-installing your old profile. Either overwrite the old profile, or set up the new one alongside the old one. You may need to use the profile manager so switch it to use the restored old profile.
I'd do a global search for "abook.mab" to find out where your old profile got to.
