One of my local folders is not showing when I open Thunderbird. Under Local Folders, I see Sent, Trash, Outbox, AthruD, EthruG, and QthruZ. The HthruP folder (and all its subfolders and messages therein) are not there. When I search in Applications on my iMac hard drive, I find see these files: HthruP, HthruP.mozmsgs, HthruP.msf, and three versions of HthruP.sbd from various times on 7/26/20. How can I get Thunderbird to add HthruP to its list of local folders, given that that set of folders is still on my hard drive? My iMac has the latest version of Catalina as its OS. I've saved lots of important messages in HthruP.

And for the record, IF I go to Troubleshooting information, then Profile folder: show in Finder, then click on the name of the default profile, then click on Mail, then click on Local Folders, THEN I see my other local folders (AthruD, etc.). So how can I add the HthruP files to that list? (I'm still relatively new to the Mac, after using Windows for years until microsoft chose not to support Windows 7 any more.)

I just discovered that my HtrhuP local folder had somehow become moved into the EthruG folder. So it's been there all along, just hidden. I've it back out, so now all is well. Thanks for trying to help.
