Hi, I tried to move inbox mail to a new folder, using Thunderbird, and lost a few hundred. I probably tried to move too many at once. Emails from Nov and Dec moved ok, but June thru Oct were lost- they aren't in either the inbox or the destination folder. I looked in webmail and emails from those months are lost.

I have a glimmer of hope- my Thunderbird Search still finds the email heading and opening lines. If I can't get the whole emails back, saving this information would be something. Is there a way to get the emails back? If not, can I recover anything?

Thank you for looking at this.

Me again. I'm a bit nearer an answer but I definitely need some help. I've saved a copy of my profile and the .sqlite so at least it wont be over written.

The .csv file I have from the .sqlite looks promising - but the dates and times the emails were sent seem to be missing. If I had this I'd have pretty much all I need.

Anyone?

Do you have any *.wdseml files in your profile?

Each *.wdseml file is a partial copy (up to 49KB) of a message in the mail folder, stored in a .mozmsgs subdirectory. It is used by Windows Search Integration (requires Vista or a later version of Windows). They're actually renamed .eml files. You can disable this feature by unchecking Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> System Integration -> "Allow Windows Search to search messages".

Otherwise what you see is just what Global Search has indexed, and I doubt there's anything you can recover.

Restoring a recent backup of your Thunderbird profile could recover lost messages, but that assumes you did the effort to create one in the first place.

Thanks for coming back to me on this. No luck- I don't have any .wdseml - unfortunately I didn't have Windows Search enabled.

But I don't think it's hopeless- Global-messages-db.sqlite seems to have a huge amount of info (perhaps everything?) but not the time and date. Is this right? ie. as expected?

Hi I came across your problem. I tried the same process to recover my folder in Thunderbird. Follow these steps. 1. Select Properties… from the menu that appears. 2. Go to the General Information tab. 3. Click Repair Folder. 4. Now click OK. It can help you to recover the data items. You can even refer this page Thanks
