I use to have two profiles, and suddenly one day one of them simply dissapeared.
I've searched on the hard drive for the profile files. And i've found one of the
profile folders Ok, and another folder named default, on this folder i've found
the files of the deleted profile. But thunderbird is unable to open that folder
i've tried rename the folder to the deleted profile name. But it didn't worked.
The mail was configured for IMAP, so in this case i just lost the configuration
files not the e-mails.
I shutted down the XP correctly and when turned on again, the folder simply
wasn't there. I work on a travel company and that caused that i lost almost a
day of work. Also lost the contact list that i was using for over 2 yrs. 
I have to create a new profile from zero.

Reproducible: Didn't try
You have two profiles or two accounts?
What is your Thunderbird build string (from help > about)?

You might check bug 205120
Both

this doesn't address the cause of the bug, but your recovery options are :
a) recycle bin
b) your backup of the profile directory
c) your PC backup
