Hello, Recently I was migrated from Cox email to Yahoo mail and had to change my setting on Thunderbird. The emails work fine, but there seems to a lot of missing folders. I tried to look for the latest backup file, but it does not exist. The latest backup I have is of the year 2022.

Kindly assist me in retrieving my lost folders.

p.s I have searched for the folders under the default profile section but they do not exist.

How did you create this backup? Thunderbird doesn't create backups on its own. If you created a new profile, the old one should be in the Profiles folder at c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles
