Not a rant but that was a bit annoying, fired up Thunderbird this
morning and no accounts at all. Fortunately it only took about ten
minutes to realise what had gone wrong and the easiest thing to do was
just to recreate the NG account.

That's what backups are for ;-)
Sounds like a corrupt (or deleted) prefs.js file. I'm not sure if
there's a solution to that outside of what you did, which is to
recreate the accounts again (and, if necessary, point the program to
the folder(s) where your old email databases were).
Or, like I said, have a back-up ;-)
But in the end it all worked out alright for you, so good news, I
suppose.
