monday evening I took my cruzer out of the usb - and obviously did it wrong, since I lost all of my email on thunderbird
I use alway sync n go on 3 computers
1. home computer - thunderbird was set to sync on another location on cruzer
2. office 1 - set to sync on to computer
3. office 2 - set to sync on to computer
when I discovered this happened - I synced on to computer 2 - then realized it was set to sync with cruzer overwriting computer - so no result with thunderbird
went to computer 3 - set to do a 2 way sync - no result to thunderbird
looking at the cruzer, the data in the location I thought I was backing up to only shows 5/21/09 as date, which is the date of sometime around the first backup
at home computer - I cannot find anything labelled thunderbird when I use the search box on vista and ask for anything after 10/12 (last sync on this computer was 10/17)
Is there anyway to recover the e-mails I have had for the last 5 months??
suggestions?? help??
I am a pastor - and started at a new church in May - and have 3 offices because of it - which is why I got the cruzer in the first place
I'd try an undelete program--Recuva comes to mind. It's freeware, just search for it. Don't install it on the Cruzer, and don't save any more files on the Cruzer. If you haven't saved anything since losing your email, I'd say you stand a good chance at recovering them.
went to justanswers.com - tech there had me download a file, and then i was able to impoort all of the missing e mails
