I deleted my emails between 2017 - 2019 by mistake, I found file : uq4n2zn3.default file, I opened the sent in this file and it is encode base64. I'm I in the right file? And if so how do I convert them to readable email format?
I deleted my emails between 2017 - 2019 by mistake, I think I have found them in this Thunderbird file : Profiles uq4n2zn3.default mail mail.pestblastersrus.co.nz, it is the sent emails I want to retrieve, I opened the sent in this file, someone told me to put all numbers to zero in the X-Mozilla-Status 0000, I then opened it in wordpad and it is encode base64, is this correct file to recover deleted sent emails ? And if so how do I convert them to readable email format?

That is probably a folder, not a file. Maybe if you do a screenshot of it from File Explorer so the folders and files are visible, someone here can confirm what you see. Thank you.
The file you tried to view, Sent (with no extension), is an mbox file. Copy it into the Mail/Local Folders subfolder of the profile folder, with TB closed. Restart TB and find the Sent folder under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.
