I am using an MacBook Pro. I accidentally deleted the Thunderbird Profile.
I can't restore the profile. So I re-download Thunderbird and try to Re-install it. Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I can't restore the profile.
Why not? Don't you have a backup? Something called Time Machine?
Well I didn't know how to do a backup so Id didn't do a back up the Time Machine didn't work.
Make sure you can see hidden files and folders:
MAC Profile is usually stored here:
Mac OS X
Profile folders are located here:
- ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder.
'Profile name' folder is usually called 'xxxxxxxx.default', where the x's are letters and numbers. What do you see in the ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles folder ? Post an image so the forum can see what you have got stored.
In the ~/Library/Thunderbird folder, there should be a 'profiles.ini' file.
Open this using a simple text editor program like Notepad.
Post an image of the contents.
None, I told you there is NO Thunderbird Folder in the Library.
Sorry, I try this:
/Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder
But there is NO Library folder though.
Ok, I did found:
/Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder
Thunderbird/Profiles/
Nothing in that folder.
