Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 Build ID: 20170824123605 Steps to reproduce: On Debian-based Linux got update to 55.0b1 64-bits. On 1 PC i used the normal update process using the standard update-tool, on another i updated "manually" (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade). This second method uses another packet-source. On both systems the same result. Actual results: After the update all local mail-folders (including the mails in these folders) where gone on both systems. Expected results: The folders should still be there just like after previous updates.
You know that your e-mail is usually stored in ~/.thunderbird. What happened to this directory?
The reporter told me in a PM that he successfully restored his e-mail from backup. I'm closing this bug since we will never find out what happened.
