Mozilla Thunderbird, need help! - GoFuckYourself.com

I had the intelligent idea of splitting a drafts subfolder (clients) into two different subfolders (clients a and clients b). I didn't save the content of the subfolder I wanted to split up before doing so, and after creating those two subfolders, all the e-mails saved in the clients subfolder fucking disappeared... Anyone have any idea if there's any way I can get those e-mails back? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I think it's still in text format in this directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXX.default\Mail
