Missing folders etc after xubuntu upgrade to 22.04
I have just raise a question here - missing folders after xubuntu upgrade, but I accidentally put "xubuntu 22.04" in the headline instead of 24.4. Can't find my way back to edit the question. Profuse apologies.

Sorry about that.

Something's gone wrong. What was supposed to be an answer turns out to be blank. Please re-send. If my original query has been lost, I can easily ask it again. FWIW, I've checked on Talktalk Webmail and that's the same - no information.

Couple of Matters Arising:
I neglected to mention that, on the xubuntu home screen, the Thunderbird icon is now a "No Entry" sign.
Using Thunar file manager, I find:
home/roy/cmftcbuy.default and also snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/cmftcbuy,default plus snap/thunderbirf/common/Tbird/mb9ypxoa.default
Does any of this help, or just add to the confusion?

Yes, I now know that there's a folder called "Tbird" in Thunderbird, but that one was a home-made folder and was not in the Thunderbird hierarchy. Eventually, I tried sorting things out myself to no avail. It was only afterwards that I discovered the existence of a zip file containing all the missing information - once that was unzipped, back came nearly all the missing stuff (and what was still missing was not important.
Just don't use the sand boxed SNAP and I would guess most of your problems will go away.
Lots of folks with random issuers caused by sand boxing post the canonical decision to move to SNAPs. I guess they forgot to tell their user base
