I have multiple email addresses. One of my email boxes sends EVERYTHING to junk. I've looked at settings but they seem to be normal How do I get back to normal?

Also, because of this,I just accidentally emptied that junk box. Is there any way of getting those emails back now?

Do you have any Message Filters? This sounds like you have a filter you created yourself that's not working as expected…

What type of mail account is this (POP/IMAP)? If POP and the messages are still on the server, you may make Thunderbird download them again. If IMAP, then the messages have been deleted from both Thunderbird and the server, and there is no way to get them back unless you have a backup.

You may want to check the Bin/Trash, in case you just moved them there rather than permanently delete them. And you may use webmail to check whether the messages are still available on the server. In particular, if this is a Gmail account, you should check the All Mail folder in case the messages are still there.
