I have been using Tbird for years. I currently have 3 email accounts, an icloud and two gmail. One gmail account is personal, the other is a personal account but used by 3 people for a committee we're on. The first two accounts are ok but the committee account has lost most of its messages at gmail, but they still seem to be on my computer.

Despite having used T'bird for a long time I still need detailed instructions in how to proceed to put the messages back onto the gmail account, hopefully without touching the other two accounts

Further to my request above, there are many sub mailboxes in the broken account but almost all have lost their contents, The only place that seems to have all the messages is "All Mail." There are some but not all messages in the Inbox.

I am referring to locations on my computer - there are only empty folders on the Gmail server.
