New account same email OR reconnecting Local folders after switching hosting providers

Hi. I recently had to change email providers and at first chose Proton but had to change again for reasons. Before I moved to proton, I shifted a whack of email to local folders on the advice of someone. I backed up my profile folder before making the move to proton, but didn't realise (I know, 'duh') that local folders didn't move. It wasn't untill I moved again that the local folders in the new install were empty.

All 3 accounts—original, proton & new—had the same email account name/domain but I want to know how I could create another instance of it to port all my old email from the original service—which has all the email still in their original folders (not local) so I have them 'non-local' again and can go through and organize them anew.

The alternative is to connect the local folders to this new instance but I'd rather the first scenario.

I'll only still have access to all 3 providers for another couple of weeks so this is feeling urgent.

Any help/suggestions most welcome. Thanks!

I am unclear on the issue and may not be able to assist, but maybe, if you clarify what you want, and explain your definition of original vs local folders, the issue will be easier to grasp. For example, when you originally backed up the profile, the local folders should have been backed up as well. If you have the desired account in one profile, and access to other message folders, it shouldn't be too difficult to do. Well, that's what I am hoping. :)
