Research direction

Start by comparing the recovery article at support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-user-data-missing-after-thunderbird-update with the linked Thunderbird import and moving-data articles. Identify where the recovery guidance should point to additional options and whether the newer import method should replace or update the moving-data article. Done means the three articles present consistent, current recovery and migration guidance.
