please help

I accidentally deleted my mail folder this morning and have lost all my
e-mails , the inbox , deleted files , drafts , sent files , etc . It is
a nightmare scenario , just a mistaken twitch of the old fingers with
the mouse.
I have found the old inbox etc in C\documents and
settings\David\application
data\thunderbird\profiles\rvm3njwg.default\mail\ma il.waitrose.com
Can I retrieve this and restore my inbox and so on.? I would be so
grateful if I could get back all my stored e-mails .

Did you check your Recycle Bin/Trashcon (icon) on your desktop yet?

thanks very much for the suggestion . There wasn't anything in the trash
but I managed to find the missing files and move them to a different
location. It's all working again thanks very much.

thanks Lee .
The solution was somewhat simpler after I gave it some thought.
I retrieved the deleted files and replaced the files in the current
profile with the originals . Problem solved but the files took some
finding!!!!!

Thanks very much

Regards

Dave
