Are you using Thunderbird for email or usenet (or both)? If you are using
it for email and are set up for IMAP, reinstalling Thunderbird should allow
it to redownload everything that has been archived once you re-enter the
email server info. With usenet, I am guessing it would depend on how far
back you go and how much retention your server has available. If you are
running your own email server with Thunderbird; I am not knowledgeable
enough to know what would happen in that instance.

Minutes after posting, I canceled the message because it seemed I didn't
have anything to lose by installing a new copy of Thunderbird, and it
worked. I didn't have to re-enter anything.

Thanks for answering!
