Hello there! I was in my Address Book and i was handling a sub-list of contacts. While i was in that list i pressed "delete" list but instead of deleting this sub-list, deleted all the basic list with my contacts... How can i restore that? I checked also in my Yahoo Mail and the contacts are also gone from there... I use IMAP, maybe that's the reason...

I use Thunderbird 1:115.11.0-1~deb10u1 in Linux Debian

Please review to be sure of where they are missing from. Thunderbird's addressbook is retained on your computer, and I think Yahoo's is maintained online. Deleting one would not delete the other. If you deleted from the Thunderbird addressbook, only a backup will restore it.
