Have you checked the folder subscription? I had some cases of folder
"mysteriously" disappearing from Thunderbird (Linux/Windows/MacOS,
doesn't matter) and in all but one case (the one case being the user
really had deleted the folders) they were no longer subscribed to. 

Or at least Thunderbird thought so. 

Restarting Thunderbird and resubscribing fixed the issue in my cases.
