I'm not experienced enough to answer that. All I know is that I dragged the thunderbird profiles and mail folders that I had copied to the hard drive to the thunderbird profiles and mail folders in my home folder on the HD, and it copied them, but I still can't get to anything in thunderbird that I had prior to the erase and install. I'm just sick about this, because it could have been avoided. But I'm still hoping someone will tell me what I can do to correct the situation.
