Re: [LUG]Re: Thunderbird deleted folder missing
Have you ever used the back up system on Thunderbird?
There ia an extension to back up your
profile and mails.
I use this as I have once lost all
previous data
It is not on this machine, but is in
extensions
check Import Export tools.
Secondly she can copy a 'folder' from
anothe email address in thunderbird to her normal email address
I hope this helps.
Best however to keep at least one copy of
exported profile.
Kindest regards
Eion MacDonald

The emails wherever they are should be stored as “flat text” / ASCII text.
So if you know phrases or unusual words in the email, recipient’s email addresses, etc., you could search for them with “grep” - the standard unix-toolkit pattern-matcher.
As you don’t know where to look, you might fire it up through “find” with something like
find . -type f -exec grep ‘contraoscillating’ {} \;

My wife uses thunderbird for her emails. She seems to have lost any trace of an email she sent recently.It is not showing in the sent folder. I have also noted that she has a trash folder but no deleted folder. I am wondering what happens to any emails that she deletes.
Any suggestions please? Before I get into trouble for messing up her system,
Neil
