you might try logging on to web account to see if messages are there. If not, the messages are probably lost.

The old mail is probably still in a subfolder of the Mail folder in the profile, named pop.mail.yahoo.com, while the newly added account's mail is in a subfolder of Mail named pop.mail.yahoo-1.com. You can make TB read the mail in the old folder by browsing to that location in Account Settings.
