Do you use quicklaunch ?
DO you still see your profile in the OS USer Directory ?
(c:\dokumente und Einstellungen\...)

That sounds like bug 155080 (see the Mozilla 1.1b release notes)

If yes: It seem that "only" your prefs.js is gone.

1: Make a backup of your profile !
2: Look in the files prefs.bak if it contains your Mail Informations but I
expect that you clobbered it.

You can try this to get your mail back:
Create the Accounts again with the exact same name as the old Accounts.

If you have problems send a mail and I'll try to fix your problem.
