data recovery - Recovering thunderbird files from quick formatted drive? - Ask Ubuntu


in brief
how can recover thunderbird emails quick-formatted drive?
have re covered thousands of images using 'magicrescue', wouldn't know start writing recipe 'thunderbird' mail.
not question of replacing ubuntu system/grub in [ file recovery after quick formatting ] nor simple question of deleted thunderbird profile in [ recovering thunderbird mail hdd ].

back story
after update u15, lost wifi. thought might work again u16, no. went u15 - older build had working wifi.
whilst going on inadvertently booted win10 spent hours doing millions of updates @ least 1 of caused grub stop working. spent days trying both grub , wifi working , decided bin windows , go full drive u14.
went well, grub , wifi working, ... when did backups didn't copy hidden files , folders, .thunderbird, somewhere on disk around /dev/sda7 used there may still recoverable emails - hope so!
have recovered many images region gives me hope. 'magicrescue' has lots of recipes sound , vision , gives advice on how write own recipes, not have 'thunderbird' email file hand analyse such recipe.

recap

the email files recovered on partition no longer exists (sda7) because formatted win10/u15 disk (sda) purposes of installing current u14 works both wifi , grub (unlike previous installation). have recovered pix sda7 despite absence , hope find email files in way.

toshiba satellite c70d-b   ubuntu 14.04 lts 3.19.0-73 generic  

i don't know need make such "recipe" default thunderbird profile stored in /home/username/.thunderbird (where username username)

inside folder folder named random-looking alphanumeric string , extension of .default. profile folder , contains email.
