Moving multiple folders
Hello. I have two mailboxes. One is configured via POP3, the other via IMAP. It is necessary to transfer several folders (over 100) from POP3 to IMAP at once. Previously, it was possible to select several folders at once and move them. Now I can only transfer one folder at a time. I tried to go to the profile folder and just copy the folder files from there, but when Thunderbird is turned on, these folders are immediately deleted. Is there any other way? Thank you in advance.

Selection of multiple folders was removed in 115, but due to user response, it might be reinstated:

You can only transfer local mail to IMAP servers from the TB interface, but it only works with small numbers at a time:

Hi Wanderer, I think the functionality to move multiple folders between account types do not exists in Thunderbird. Maybe you could request one.
Please note that the POP3 folders are stored locally, but IMAP folders are stored on your IMAP server and just displayed via Thunderbird. You have to move it one by one by selecting the folder and then with right "Move to" and selecting the new location.
Have a great day!
