thunderbird help

Creamy Goodness

hey, i've accidently deleted my mail account in thunderbird

i found the directory that has the mails

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default.smd\Mail\

and i have located the inbox file.

how do i import it into thunderbird?

(As far as I know)

- Backup those files to another folder
- Create a new account in Thunderbird with the same settings as the old one
- Close Thunderbird
- Copy the backed up files across
- Open Thunderbird

should work...
