I have mozilla backup for my emails. I reset my computer to factory settings and when i downloaded thunderbird and synced my email account for thunderbird to retrieve all my emails and got them all back no problem. This was great, but i ended up getting like 3500 emails in my inbox. But not having all my specific folders was not.. So i backed up my email account with mozilla, unfortunately my mozzila back up wasnt current and up to date (so i was missing a year of emails). Q: is there a way to get back all my emails again? I tried to re-download thunderbird again but it just resorts back to all my old emails Thank you!
