How to restore Thunderbird profile after crash?












0















Thunderbird crashed on Ubuntu 18.04, and after the crash thunderbird started like I had never used it before (asing me for my email address etc.).



I had two email-profiles and one local profile; for the the two email profiles I used a unified Inbox, unified Sent, unified Archive etc.
In the ~/.thunderbird folder is still a 8upejerp.default profile, this seems to be for one of my email addresses, but all junk-mail settings, address book etc. are gone (e.g., I have to train the junk-filter from scratch). It also appears that several emails in the Archives were deleted. Also, my PGP settings are gone. There is also a nbhva05r.default profile, but that does not appear to be loaded. If I force thunderbird to load this profile (by temporarily moving the 8upejerp profile) it seems to be basically the same (but the 8upejerp profile is larger than the nbhva05r profile).



In the subfolder 'Crash Reports' there is a directory "events" (with the time of the crash, but it is empty), and a file InstallTime20181010142617 which only contains: 1546253999



Can anyone please help?
