Hello

i deleted my roaming folder by mistake and i can't access my emails.

i used a software called crash plan to recover some data and it recovered a folder that has like 5 gb of data and 2 profiles ...but even if i select this folder in server settings i can't see mu old email.

now i only see some old stuff in the sent folder.

Can i somehow recover my emails back?

Thank you

If you deleted the 'Roaming' folder then you completely deleted all Profiles, all preferences, all mail, all contacts etc etc etc. It's almost as bad as reinstalling an OS from a Thunderbird point of view and for any other non-Windows installed apps.

You could try this info:

Otherwise, You would need to use a backup - assuming you did create a backup of your Profile folder.

If you had an IMAP mail account then all of those emails are stored on the server, so creating a new Profile and IMAP mail account would get all emails on server.

Pop mail accounts would only redownload everything still in the server Inbox.
