My email through work was hosted at 1 and 1 and their server crashed, they had no back up server and all of the saved emails from everyone in the company were lost. Our IT department has a backup of emails, but it's several months old. Most people in my office worked off the web interface and have no backups, but I work off of my Mac and Thunderbird, so I was able to backup my profile on an external hard drive as soon as I heard about the issue.

Now my company has switched to Amazon hosting services with the same email addresses. I need to now add the Amazon account to Thunderbird but preserve all of the emails/folders/contacts that were in the profile I backed up.

Do I have to upload the content of the profile backup to the Amazon hosted account? Or do I do it all through Thunderbird somehow?

Any advice is appreciated. Pour one out for IT staffs that only back company emails up every four months. Sigh.

I would use the ImportExportTools add-on to import the relevant mailbox files from your backup. In all likelihood you'll have to import them into Local Folders in Thunderbird. If the account used IMAP previously then be prepared for some data loss.

Add the new instance of the account to Thunderbird and when it is up and running, copy your messages back into it from Local Folders. This is best done inside Thunderbird.
