Everything is gone after trying to downgrade from v115!

I have had so much trouble with version 115 and looked online for answers. People recommended downgrading to 102, so I downloaded and re-installed that version, after deleting the file that was recommended from the Thunderbird folder (now I can't find the name of it!).

When I installed 102, it gave me the profile error message. I started to create a new profile and realized that will take me hours probably - I have multiple folders and email addresses in TB. So I decided to reinstall 115, and now it looks like there is no data at all. Help!

I'm using Windows 8.

Thanks

Chosen solution

None of your profiles are set up to run 102* When you downloaded, installed and ran 115 , it overwrote the 'compatibility.ini' files. Start 115* and report on results. You really could do with ensuring things work with the upgrade especially since two of your profiles are set up for it.

Going back should really be a last resort. Please note the upgrade actually offers a lot more than 102* and whilst it is still being finalised with any bugs that get reported and some sectors still are being more fully developed with more options, it can to a large extent be modified to look and feel very similar to 102*

re:But I had so many problems already with 115 Not sure what problems you experienced as I cannot find you had asked any questions about it. But I've been using it now foe a few months and after modifying what I wanted to see and use etc, everything is doing ok.

At the moment , I cannot drag down the bottom section in 'Tasks', I've reported the bug so I know it's going to get sorted soon, but it's not a big deal. I can offer help.

I will take a look at these things. Thunderbird did crash (or said "not responding") twice more today. :(

I've been working to catch up on work projects due to all the time I lost last week due to the TB issues. I think I'll take the day off tomorrow :)
