Dear Mozilla Rep:

I have Thunderbird installed on my desktop & laptop computers.

By mistake I deleted a Thunderbird data folder Inbox/Personal/Genealogy/FamInfoSourses on my desktop computer that still exists on my laptop computer.

How can I copy the contents of the data folder Inbox/Personal/Genealogy/FamInfoSourses from my laptop computer to my desktop computer?

Respectfully yours,

Hy London

In windows Explorer, locate the physical file, likely at c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\<yourprofilename>Mail(Or Imapmail)\accountname\ With Thunderbird NOT running, copy from one PC to the other, same location.

Specific folders within the Thunderbird files cannot be accessed by windows explorer.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I do it regularly.
