This is a web forum, not a mailing list. Posting your email address to a public forum is a silly idea.

Wrt your problem, follow these instructions. I.e. create a new profile and copy the old one over it. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird#Create_a_new_profile_and_copy_the_old_one_over_it
