When it opened all my settings, local folders, received mails,.. dissapeared. But when I checked on my HD they where still there(c;\documents and settings\Administrator\application data\mozilla\profiles\default\...). How do I "import" all this back.

You should be able to go to Edit->Mail&Newsgroup Account Settings and re-import your accounts. If not, manually edit the prefs.js file to reflect the correct folders. How big is your prefs.js file? Most likely, it got deleted, and this bug is a duplicate of bug 155080.

my prefs.js is 2330 bytes, and it looks like this.

The prefs.js file does look a bit small. Do you use QuickLaunch? If so, this is a dup of bug 155080.
Oh... also what build did you upgrade from?
I upgraded from 1.0
ok fixed it I created another pref.js file and copyed it to default folder. Got all the messages back. thx for helping
