Description

[Claus Ohlendorf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird Version 1.0.2 (20050317)

I downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird via
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.0.2/win32/en-US/

I closed down Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 and installed version 1.0.2
When the process was finished and Thunderbird started all my emails were deleted
on my harddisk.

My configuration:
Windows 2000 Servicepack 4 Build 5.00.2195

My user-specific mail-folders (not the local folders) are located on a different
harddisk within the folder d:\users

This complete folder was deleted completely (not copied to the trash).

I could recover some of my mails, but the files inbox and sent were corrupt and
couldn't be recovered (the .msf files were not corrupted).




Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Honestly: I do not wish to reproduce it.. :-(((
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
It should have left my emails untouched?

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
