I had a Beta copy of Thunderbird and a message came up asking me to upgrade. I did this and now all my saved data in the Local Folders is gone. How do I retrieve all that history.

I went through the process as indicated and still I do not see my old local folders. I saw the old Beta profile but when it loaded as directed it still did not show my old folders.

What beta were you using prior to update and what beta is installed now?

What OS are you using ? Is it 32 or 64 bit OS?

Was previous install of Thunderbird beta a 64 bit or 32 bit version ? Is current install of Thunderbird beta a 64 bit or 32 bit version ?
