Thunderbird Db corruption... maybe
My wife is using imap on her COX email account, for many years. Tonight she asked me to make a filter to move some accounting emails to the accounting folder. As I was doing this, ALL 19000+ emails in the inbox got "moved" from the inbox to the accounting folder. Stupidly, I immediately attempted to move all of them back to the inbox, this is when they all disappeared in the Tbird program. I checked the webmail.cox.net under my login and all of the emails seem to be in the accounting folder still. My wife is currently pruning out all of the spam....
I must have done something to cause the moving of the entire inbox, but I am unable to determine what. Please advise me the easiest way to recover the emails to TBird.
We are using the latest version of TBird, 102.6.1 on her PC. Windows 10. current windows update
Uninstall TBird and reinstall/resetup the imap account?
Thank you
Matt

That was it! Thanks. I spent the day deleting spam and old emails through the webmail access. I renamed the imap folder, started TBird and all of the folders were recreated and the mail downloaded.
Again, Thank you.

Hello
Maybe something less drastic could be sufficient, try to exit Thunderbird and delete/rename the Imapmail subdirectory under the profile.
