Using windows 7 pro migrating from a crashed windows 7 pro. On the new machine I created a new profile with the profile manager and exited. I then copied the profile data inside the old machines' profile folders located in AppData\Local\thunderbird\profile\newprofile and AppData\Roaming\thunderbird\profile\newprofile. When I open Thunderbird I can use the general search to see messages in the search results but no messages appear in the sidebar folders. How do I make the folders appear?

In your profile-folder try deleting panacea.dat It will be regenerated. Did you copy ALL or just part of your old profile?
