Lost messages after renaming folders
I had a folder called ÖgOF with a subfolder BirdLife. I renamed the folder to BirdLife-ÖgOF. After that a lot of problems occurred, e.g. - some of the other folders lost all messages - messages coluld not be moved from Inbox to some folders
Is it possible to restore the lost messages?

R-click on the folder BirdLife-ÖgOF > Properties > General Info > Location >> this will give you the information whether this is a IMAP or POP folder and where in the profile it is located (and the path to it if POP). Open the Thunderbird profile folder https://mzl.la/2cYKHaB and navigate to a BirdLife-ÖgOF.sbd folder. Verify if there is also a BirdLife-ÖgOF file without any extension in the same location. Open the BirdLife-ÖgOF.sbd folder and show us a screen shot of its contents.
I cannot give more precise directives to find the BirdLife-ÖgOF.sbd folder in the profile folder since you did not give precise information.
I'm sorry but your reply is too complicated for me to understand. Can I just uninstall and then re-install Thunderbird and hope to be able to recover at least some of the data?
Uninstall and reinstall the application Thunderbird won't change anything. Your email data are stored in the profile folder of Thunderbird and not in the application.
