This would explain why there is an nstmp file and why folders are missing.ДЄs there are. I would assume that the compacting process was interrupted maybe you exited Thunderbird whilst it was occuringВ ? Then the nstmp file contents are copied back, finally the nstmp file is deleted. Then original file is emptied, so all 'marked as deleted' emails are removed. It is a temporary file used to copy all good emails. This is created when you are 'Compacting' folder(s).

I have no idea how to do that, or whether I can ''import'' a Sent folder to an email account where Thunderbird won't allow me to ''define'' a Sent folder, but I guess I can try. I have no idea how to do that, or whether I can import a Sent folder to an email account where Thunderbird won't allow me to define a Sent folder, but I guess I can try.Д«ut, I'll try your suggestion of looking around using the import/export tools. The old incoming and sent emails from the long-defunct email vendor might be nice to have for historical purposes, and since they seem to be still in Thunderbird data files, I'm thinking maybe all I need do is define that old vendor again in Thunderbird (assuming Thunderbird will allow me to do that) to get access to those email files.Д«ut, I'll try your suggestion of looking around using the import/export tools.

I'd like to recover the old Sent files in particular. Thunderbird won't let me redefine (add) them. Those Sent and Trash folders are missing from my Thunderbird window left pane for the one imap account (the one associated with the file). Outgoing (and Incoming) email still works, except I don't have copies of email sent from the account that has the missing Sent and Trash folders it is those two missing folders (and my inability to redefine them to have those 2 folders working again) that I'm most concerned about. Shown as uploaded images are a normal zoho email account (left, larger) and the bad zoho email account (right, smaller)ДЄs a side question, I noted folders (in Users/(my ID)/Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/fault/ImapMail) for accounts I had with another email provider years ago (they went out of the email business) I'm wondering: if I were to define those accounts somehow in my Thunderbird, would those ancient emails then be available to me? ДЇrom the order of the accounts in Thunderbird, I assume is the account in question, and the missing folders in question do not appear there. Users/(my ID)/Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/fault/ImapMail shows 4 files with data named: are those folders recoverable?ДЄlthough I'd prefer to have the original folders back, Tbird won't even let me replace those missing folders with new ones. I probably did something wrong to cause this, but I'm not sure what. I suddenly noticed today that one of the list of four Zoho accounts in the left side pane of Thunderbird is missing these subfolders: Drafts, Templates, Sent, Archives, Spam and Trash (and now it has an added 'GMAIL' subfolder). I have 5 email accounts (imap), four hosted by Zoho and one hosted by gmail.

I have been using Thunderbird for perhaps 15 years.
