A virus had attached to an email that I never opened, and it deleted my email Thunderbird profile! Is it possible to get it back? It's urgent!

A Trojan virus attached to an e-mail that I never opened, but it was in my window, that I scrolled my emails as well as the other emails. I don't remember to open it, but if I did I would NEVER open an attachment, not even people I know, unless I'm expecting something! In any case, my virus scanner caught, but he did nothing on this subject. I ended up finding the folder named 'Profile' which contained the virus. I am sure of that. I removed it, because I could not disinfect or he quarantine a reason any. He has apparently removed my Thunderbird profile, so I can't access my email account when I click on the shortcut for the Office Thunderbird on my Windows screen. Please help. I don't know what to do, but I need to access my emails for invoices, etc..

Thank you
John

What does that mean?

My caught virus scanner

Your "virus scanner" is not supposed to analyze your file for Thunderbird profiles in the first place.

I deleted it

Not a smart move. With the profile you deleted also all your accounts and mail.

I removed it, because I could not disinfect or quarantine it

There is no need of this. A malicious attachment will no damage to your computer as long as you don't try to open or run it.

I don't know what to do

You still have the file deleted in the trash? You can try to login to your account via webmail and check if there are still messages on the server.

For the future, create backups of your profile on a regular basis folder.
