I do, via computer backups, but in this case, not all that beneficial. 
That's because I use POP email, not IMAP, so going back at this time 
would delete a lot of emails.

I actually already tried that, but something seems to have changed, as 
when I went back to 60, the address book was screwed up, and a couple 
other things were also incorrect.

All in all, it's just another reason I don't care anymore if 
Thunderbird, and Firefox also, survive.  For me, all the changes over 
the years have been negative for me overall.
