I was running Win 8.1 with Firefox as a browser and Thunderbird as a email handler when I updated to Win 10. After making Firefox and Thunderbird my defaults and an automatic sync, all I have left of my local folders is the the trash and outbox.

Did you choose one of the options for Windows 10 preserving your data (e.g., reset, refresh, or possibly similar terms)? You can check for a folder named

C:\Windows.old\Users\your-username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

If you do not immediately see AppData, make sure Windows shows hidden files and folders. To change that setting, see this article (hopefully it's similar in Windows 10): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

Do you have such a folder?
