After a recent automatic update to 68.10.0 (32-bit), All my email, folders and profile disappeared. I checked for profile and it was gone. Thunderbird was basically just a shell. I used Revo to remove what was left of T-bird from my PC and rebooted. I reinstalled t-bird and redid all my accounts. However, now the password manager won't save passwords. I checked and no passwords are listed. I therefore have to re-enter my passwords every time I start T-bird. This is extremely difficult because of the type and length of the passwords I use. Is there anything I can do to get the password manager to work again without losing all my email.

Thank you in advance

Chosen solution

Sorry, I forgot to get back here to mark this as solved. It was CCleaner that was screwing everything up. I found the problem by accident and corrected it. T-bird is working awesome again.

However, there is a trust issue with T-bird. A previous upgrade wiped out T-bird and I lost years worth of email that I really needed. Now I have to save every email to my drive which is a time consuming waste of time but without the trust it almost....almost makes me want to go back to incredimail (like that'll ever happen.) LOL

I thank you for your response. You have an awesome evening. Take care and above all else...stay safe.
