Thanks for the screen shot. It shows the error

 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgFolder.server] setFolderPropertiesFromFolder chrome://messenger/content/about3Pane.js:4026

this equates to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869685 where Thunderbird starts with a blank screen

Do you happen to have a backup of the prefs.js before you deleted/started fresh ?
