Where are the Inbox & Sent emails stored on Ubuntu 14.04
I tried to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 but it froze halfway through and nothing works anymore. My data is on other partitions so I can recover but my Thunderbird Inbox and Sent emails will be overwriten when I reinstall 14.04. can you tell me the directories and files where they are keep please so I can recover them before installing. Many thanks.

If your "data is on other partitions" why do you say it will be overwritten?
Thunderbird stores its data in its profile, which in Linux is ~/.thunderbird

When re-installing Linux, there should be no need to overwrite the /home folder.
I re-installed 14.04 alongside the failed 16.04 install. When I try to login to 16.04 I can only get the command line. However, I can find where my profiles are but I cannot access other partitions on my hard drive or even a USB flash drive so I can copy my files over. Any suggestions please?
