I added two of my email addresses to my Gmail account, and the inbox emails for these accounts in Thunderbird are now gone. How can I get them back in my inbox in Thunderbird?

I would assume you had those accounts configured as IMAP. Google just deleted the emails from the server when they collected them per your request, so they are also deleted in Thunderbird to match the server. So I guess you best configure your gmail account in Thunderbird so the mail get back to it.

Hi, Thanks for your reply and help. Yes they are IMAP...I still am not sure what to do to get them back though after your reply? Not sure how to configure my gmail account in Thunderbird? Thanks.
