Lost emails during drag/drop of subfolders

TB 140.1.0esr The accts are pop/smtp not IMAP.

I was moving subfolders around using drag & drop instead of Moveto or Copyto. Several folders (along with contents including emails and sub-sub folders) were moved OK, but the last one I tried only moved the subfolder and its sub-sub folder, but not the email contents of these. Not sure what I did differently but It left the folders in the original location and created a copy of the folders in the new location, but both sets of folders are empty. Using the properties->repair on each of these folder sets did nothing.

There were only a few emails in the problem folders, and I have created an TB export file after the fact. Is there any way to directly inspect profile entries to see evidence of the missing emails or maybe other recovery steps?
