Thunderbird Adressbuch und Ordner wieder finden
Hallo, nach einem Update von Thunderbird kam durchgehend die Meldung, dass zum Abschluss des Updates der Computer neu gestartet soll. Da dies keine Änderung erbrachte, löschte ich Thunderbird aus dem Verzeichnis und kopierte den Ordner zur Sicherung. In den Ordnern zu den Profilen (.../Local/Thunderbird/Profiles) enthalten die beiden vorhandenen Profile leider keine relevanten Dateien. Nach der erneuten Installation von Thunderbird wurde auch ein neues Profil erstellt ( mit Zusatz: default). Für mich ergibt sich die Frage, wo ich mein Adressbuch sowie einige meiner Archive finden kann (ein Archiv wird angezeigt). Sofern ich die nicht auf dem Server sondern lokal abgelegt haben sollte, gibt es ein spezielles Suchkriterium dafür, kann ich ggf. neue Dateien in Thunderbird mit denen aus der Sicherung überschreiben? Schon mal vielen Dank für die Hilfe!
Gruß Thomas

Hello, after an update of Thunderbird there was a continuous message that the computer should restart to complete the update. Since this did not change anything, I deleted Thunderbird from the directory and copied the folder for backup. In the folders for the profiles (...LocalThunderbirdProfiles) the two existing profiles unfortunately contain no relevant files. After reinstalling Thunderbird a new profile was created ( with addition: default). For me the question arises where I can find my address book and some of my archives (an archive is shown). If I have not stored them on the server but locally, there is a special search criterion for this. Can I overwrite new files in Thunderbird with the ones from the backup? Thanks for your help! Greeting Thomas
The ...Local\Thunderbird\Profiles stores cache data. Your user data is in ...Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<profilefolder>
If you launch TB in the current profile, select Help/Troubleshooting, about:profiles, and see if the non-current, previous profile is listed, and can be launched. If not, but the old profile is present in ...\Profiles, copy abook.mab or abook.sqlite and history.mab or history.sqlite to the new profile folder, with TB closed.

Thanks for the idea, but there are no corresponding files in the ... \ Profiles folder.
Look in the subfolders of Profiles, i.e. the actual profile folders, as every profile must have abook.mab and history.mab (TB 68 and older) or abook.sqlite and history.sqlite (TB 78+).
I am currently using TB 78.3.1 32 bit. I have created two contacts in my new address book. In the current profile there are three folders: \cache2, \savebrowsing and \startupcache as well as one file: startup-incomplete with 0 size. Nothing else. There are also two old profile folders. There are only the \startupcache and \savebrowsing folders.
You're looking in ...AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles when the user data is in ...AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles...
Hello sfhowes, you solved the problem. I only searched under "local" and not under "roaming". Under "roaming" I found an old folder that was not listed under "local". I gave it the name of a non-current folder. Then I changed the profile. In the end it was very easy. Thanks again for the support and perseverance!
