I was having trouble receiving emails and I couldn't work out the problem. I deleted my mail account and re-added it. Now all my folders are gone. I can see them in my profile, but can't work out how to get them back into Thunderbird mail. Please help

Can you do a screenshot of your profile from File Explorer? Either that, or tell where the folders are appearing? That is, in what folder of profile?

Hi David, thanks for your help. I've attached a picture. I can see the folders in the folder I marked in pink.

check the folder being used at 'local folder', at bottom of pane for server settings. My guess is it may be pointing to bigpond-1. that can happen on a reinstall. Try changing to point to bigpond folder
