When I view my Inbox file in my profile folder it is only 2kb. My last backup showed a size of 0.8Mb. What gives?

I am viewing my profile folder and everything looks right except there are files not right in the "Mail" folder. The "Inbox" file is way too small. I am also missing files such as "Sent", "Drafts", "Junk" among others. The following is the path to the folder: C:\Users\Nicholas\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\kid2h231.default\Mail Is there something I'm missing here?

I'm an idiot. I forgot I moved the profile to another folder in the Account Setting-Server Settings window. Down at the bottom where the local directory can be changed.

You didn't move the profile. That's still where it belongs. You have moved a particular mailstore to a location outside the profile.

I think this is a bad idea and you have already demonstrated why; you have already forgotten that you had done this.

Why did you want to move this? Is there a reason for not moving the whole profile?
