Previous setting to notify for inbox or all messages has been removed. Please re-add it
In the past you could only get notifications for the Inbox, which was nice when you'd use folders and server-side filtering to keep most emails out of your inbox. Please restore this option.

I have always had notifications of new mail regardless of which folder they were filtered into with the exception of junk/spam. That is the standard and default in Thunderbird.
So I think you must have been using an addon extension in order to get a very specific request just on Inbox.
Did you use this : Mailbox Alert 0.30 by Tjebbe Mailbox Alert allows you to specify, for each seperate mail folder, a message, sound and/or a system command that will be executed when new mail is found there. ... Works with Thunderbird 102.0 - 102.*
REgarding getting it to work in more recent version - It looks like the author has decided a complete rewrite is a lot of time and effort and therefore a significant cost to the author which is just not tenable.
I found this: https://github.com/tjeb/Mailbox-Alert/issues/76
Looked around for you and found this addon extension:
FiltaQuilla 4.1 by R Kent James, Realraven (Axel Grude)
Adds many new mail filter actions - launch a file, suppress notification, remove star or tag, mark replied or unread, copy as "read", append text to subject.
Works with Thunderbird 112.0 - 128.*
I've not tested it, but it has a 'do not notify' option .
If you use addons please support the author with donations, it takes a lot of time effort and skill to write and importantly maintain programs.

I know this is a bit older (2012) but this setting has been around until recently:
"Show in the messaging menu" > change radio from "For messages in all folders" to "Only for messages in my Inbox folder"
I have not added any add-ons to Thunderbird since the calendar integration started to work without the Lightning add-on.
