Did a factory reset of Windows Vista. Had Thunderbird before, downloaded and installed after reset. I have a windows backup on external drive that was made about a week before the crash. Would the old contacts and messages be on this windows backup? If so, how to retrieve?

What you need is your Thunderbird profile folder. Check whether that's in your backup. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
