I accidentally deleted my Thunderbird trash folder while deleting messages. How do I restore the folder (or subscribe)?

...The deleted folder isn't in my windows Recycle Bin.

Have you tried recreating the account folder when thunderbird is not running? Trash and Trash.msf, two entries in the account settings within the profile. And then selecting 'copies&folders' to reestablish the trash folder after restarting thunderbird.
