I had a problem with TB and all emails were deleted. But I cannot see them in my trash folder of IMAP account. The emails are still present in C:\......\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXXXXX.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail.com\[Gmail].sbd\Trash.

How can I retrieve this folder into TB?

How did you determine the messages actually are in Trash?
