recovering lost emails

After recovering from a computer crash, I lost my TB profile and all emails, but my calendar and address book are still there. From reading on here I think that means the 10 years worth of emails are not hopelessly lost.

I tried several things to recover the profile, but nothing worked. So I have created a new profile. How can I recover the old emails and move them to my new profile?

I have a similar problem, my wife's computer died taking all data with it. Fortunately I can remove and access the hard disc. Have you had a look at the mozila information at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_profile-location-summary I hope this is some help to you . Good luck
