Thunderbird deleted inbox

I mistakenly used Kapersky to check for viruses in my Thunderbird.  As you probably know and I learned, Kapersky treats the inbox as one file and when you delete the virus it deletes the entire in-box file.

2 questions.  


- I ran Kapersky from a boot CD.  Is the inbox file gone forever?  

- I do have a copy of the inbox file from about 30 days ago.  Can I merge it with my current one or how do I replace?

Thanks..

And unless Kaspersky saved the deleted inbox in your trash or into a quarantine folder you aren't going to get that version back. I sincerely doubt that it quarantined the file since it ran from a boot CD, but you could boot with the CD again and check Kaspersky's settings or help file to find out what happens when you delete a file.
