After resetting Windows I reinstalled Thunderbird. I probably messed things up when I tried to copy my old Profile into the new installation, but now I can't get T'bird to accept my existing email account. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as far as I can get is shown in the image attached. On the troubleshooting screen there is no email account shown.

Please help'
