THANK YOU SCOTT!!!
YOU DID IT!
I found/got back what I wished for now.
I so do not understand the complex addressing that TB does.
For me, it is very confusing........... :)

I don't know yet time/date of any of what re-appeared yet. More study.
I will now set TB to NOT AutoUpdate! Reboot! And, then, think about playing with my restore points to come back to today.......
OR,
Perhaps, I will just let my sleeping dog sleep! And continue on just a bit more stupid. I can accept this.
Thank You. Thank YOU!
Duncan

Take a look at:

Look under each profile and see if you can find your missing mail folders. Mail 
folders are probably stored under:

   c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application 
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\[account]\Mail

or

   c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application 
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\[account]\ImapMail

Mozilla TBird (v3.1.1) has done it again!
All my old mail folders are GONE!
TB is/was v3.1.1. I suspect a baddie. I suddenly have Local Email Folders 
(objects) that make ZERO sense to me. And, all of them are blank.

I have already gone backwards 4 Restore points. NO JOY! I can/will go back 
farther if need be. Maybe 07/07/10; or, whenever v3.1 got done!

Yes, I do see my initial Mistake about Allowing Automatic Updates!
Still trying to kill this vestige of stupidity.  I do so hope an erase/re-build 
will fix this (XP seems to store lots of info?).

I have older "profiles" stored. Don't know what to do with them ATM.
I can kill/re-install TB v304 or TB v31. No decision yet.

Really, I'd just like my old EMail Folders (email) BACK. POSSIBLE?
This TBird learning curve is now beyond painful.
Perhaps Opera?
Thank You,
Duncan
