Retrieving deleted email folders
I accidentally deleted a Thunderbird email folder, with several sub-folders containing messages. I have used the Thunderbird Search facility, and they are present on the system, somewhere. Does anyone know where deleted emails (and, indeed, current ones) are stored on a Windows 10 (latest version) file structure/tree?
Thanks!

...or by using Thunderbird menu path Help->Troubleshooting information->click on the "Show Folder" button.
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders". UNQUOTE
You can also use the profile manager by starting Thunderbird from the command line by adding the "-P flag to the "thunderbird" command, like so "thunderbird.exe -P (please note the empty space after ".exe" and before the flag "-P") How do I access Thunderbird profile manager in Windows 10?.
As a last resort, supposing you are using IMAP and do have not deleted email from your server, or at least not Emptied your trash, they are still on your server and can be retrieved there ?
