Good day! I have a great problem. Messages were deleted from Thunderbird folders "Drafts" and "Sent", and subsequently they disappeared from gmail account also. Could you please advise how to try to get back these messages to gmail? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

This is the way imap works - if you delete a message in Thunderbird, it will also be gone from the web interface of your mail provider.

However, in the case of gmail you can navigate to gmail's "All Mail" folder. You should find the message still there.

Assuming 'All Mail' is not subscribed to be seen... In webmail account via a browser Access 'AllMail' folder If email has no label eg: Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc You can put email back into desired folder and reapply the label. Then it will get picked up in the imap account. See images below as a guide
