In thunderbird only the spam page in one of the accounts is showing and I can't get back tomthe main menu

I have several email accounts and this morning I cleared the spam account on one of these. only the spam page was left and the other tabs disappeared. I may have accidentally closed the tab. I can't get out of this spam tab . I have tried closing Thunderbird down and restarting but I go back to the same place. I closed and restarted the computer with the same result.

Did you turn off the Folder Pane that is normally on the left side? If so, from the menu bar select View-Layout-Folder Pane

Press the alt key if the menu bar with view is not showing.

The Junk folder is showing because it is selected or was the last folder selected prior to closing Thunderbird.

You would need to click on another folder or mail account name. I'm presuming none of these are visible. Try: View > Folders > All or Menu icon > Folders> All

sadly there is not a view icon or a menu icon, but thanks for trying to help

If there are no toolbars:

Press 'Alt' key to get temporary Menu Bar then 'View' > 'Toolbars' select: Menu Bar to set as permanent then 'View' > Toolbars, and select other toolbars - Mail Toolbar, Quick Filter bar and Status Bar

This should get you all the toolbars.
