First, mozbackup is dangerous - even the developer says so. See https://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ Post screenshot of what you do have and maybe someone here can suggest next steps.
I should have been more clear. You need to post a screenshot of an unzipped profile so that we can see the folders and message files that are there.
thanks for you help. I rename to zip file and unzip it then copy all the file into C:\Users\aikiw\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\9yrqejc8.default I start Thunderbird app and it only restore back the mail to 2020. I backup mail date is Nov.04 2024 but 2021 to 2024 mail all not recover, thanks.
That may be due to having used Mozbackup. It has been known for corrupting profiles. I am pleased that you were able to salvage some of your data.
