If you opened tbird in 22.1, your tbird profile (~/.thunderbird , as I
recall) has now been tagged with needing whatever version of tbird is in
22.1. 

You might be able to "fix" it by renaming the profile directory and
letting Mint 21.x tbird recreate it from scratch.  After that, it may be
possible to copy the relevant database(s) from the 22 tbird back into
the new profile so that your saved email services, etc. show up again.
You'll probably be forced into re-syncing all the mail though.
