Issues with beta upgrade from Zorin OS 17.3 Pro to 18 Pro

I upgraded from 17.3 Pro to 18 Pro and all my Thunderbird email accounts were deleted. I know that this upgrade is not officially released and it wasn't my productive maschine. So not a big problem. Just wanted to let you know so that you can fix it.

Was Thunderbird installed as .deb, Snap or Flatpak?
