Yesterday I logged in to Thunderbird and was asked to upgrade to Thunderbird 158.0.1 Today all my old mail folders mail have disappeared, how do I recover them?

- What is your operating system?

- Is this an IMAP account or POP3?

- Did you originally install Thunderbird using an installer downloaded from the official Thunderbird site, <https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ > or from a "store" or package manager?

- Were you asked to update by Thunderbird itself or by the store/package manager?

- Are you saying the folders are there but the messages are not?

I have more questions but that's enough for now.
