Moved email account to another server, lost access to all existing emails
Moved website to another server. Used same email address when setting up new email accounts on new server. Attempted to direct Thunderbird to get messages from new server, and in so doing, modified/changed account settings, now all old emails (many) are no longer accessible.
Please, how do I get the emails from the older account on Thunderbird back? Thanks.

Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Open Folder, close TB, open the Mail or ImapMail subfolder, depending on if the lost account was POP or IMAP. In that subfolder, there should be a subfolder named after the account. In that subfolder, look for files such as Inbox, Sent etc. that have no file extension, and copy them into the Mail/Local Folders location. When you restart TB, look for the folders under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.
