My local folders all suddenly appear to be empty
The emails can be found using "search", which lists that they are in "Archive", but the Archive folder actually contains sent emails. How do I access my filed emails through the local folders again?

A few extra details:
Most of my mail was stored in sub-folders of a folder "New Folder".
When I look in the directory
~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/cur
I see a listing that includes
-rw------- 1 penelope penelope 0 Jun 2 23:01 New Folders:2, -rw-rw-r-- 1 penelope penelope 2814 Sep 23 21:55 New Folders:2,.msf -rw-rw-r-- 1 penelope penelope 2793 Sep 1 16:38 New Folders.msf:2, -rw-rw-r-- 1 penelope penelope 2217 Sep 23 00:49 New Folders.msf:2,.msf drwxr-xr-x 4 penelope penelope 4096 Sep 22 23:35 New Folders.sbd drwx------ 7 penelope penelope 4096 Sep 1 16:38 New Folders.sbd:2, -rw-rw-r-- 1 penelope penelope 2438 Sep 23 10:07 New Folders.sbd:2,.msf drwxr-xr-x 54 penelope penelope 4096 Sep 23 21:55 New Folders.sbd:2,.sbd
The Thunderbird folders list as a folder with empty subdirectories "New Folders.sbd:2,".
It also lists as (empty) folders "New Folders:2," and "New Folders.msf:2,"
