Ubuntu crashed and Thunderbird lost all accounts (second time)

This happened at least the second time this month. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with crashing but I noticed that it's the second time all accounts disappeared from Thunderbird like it was freshly installed.

enter image description here

Do you know where is the problem?

Look in `/home/[your-user]/.thunderbird`. Is there more than one directory starting with random letters? Or just one?

@jpbrain I've added the content of the directory to the bottom of the question.

The one that says "Default=1" is the active one. Depending on the size of each ".default" you should figure out which one has your data.

So was it really _Ubuntu_ that crashed, i.e. the Linux kernel? Or wasn't it rather _Thunderbird_? Otherwise Thunderbird wouldn't have recorded a crash. If the kernel crashes, there is no way an application can still write a crash file.

@HuHa Ubuntu crash might have been a symptom of Thunderbird crash... anyways I needed to restart PC.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
