I wrote "retired" i meant "restored".
Well, restoring all on a new place is in progress, don't have much hope in it: i already checked the .thunderbird dir size and it's the same as before...

So, to sum up:
1.restoration work ok except for few directories, but it concerns dir that are essential to thunderbird.
2. attempt to restore the directory alone failed
3. attempt to move the directory and restore it alone failed
4. attempt to make it via terminal failed
5. attempt to restore all the system in a different place is in progress
Looks like deja-dup tells me "it's ok: your files have been perfectly saved, don't worry, the only point is that you will never be able to restore or access them as we have locked them randomly with "for-no-reason-read-only-stuff", unless you learn to become an ingeneer in computer system. But don't worry, we'll keep them safe. You're welcome"

i've never been so desperate, frustrated and angry because of my computer.
I'm preparing to accept that i lost all my mails, and probably my job , as it was both my personnl and pro computer...
Thanks anyway, but i read you are involved in Deja-dup developpment, and i think there is a big issue here...

Also, i saw that i wasn't alone to meet this problem.
I took the post off another poor user and adapted to my case to make my first post here:

I didn't try the solution in the first answer of the second topic as it looks complicated, but that will be my next try.
