By accident I deleted what I thought was a duplicate email account from my Thunderbird emails. I lost the whole account instead of just cleaning up the extra one the other one was deleted and it is a main email account for me and the inbox had emails I need.

How do I restore this account

I regret to tell you, but it's gone. Keeping backups is your only protection.

BUT, if it is an IMAP account, it's all still on the server. Just set it up again. If it was a POP account, remnants of the account are still on the server, depending on what settings you had specified, but any retrieved messages from the POP account would be gone.
