Local Folders now just show impab-1mab, etc rather than subdirectory names. All messages in Local Folders unreadable. I tried deleting .msf files & rebuilding, but no help.

Running POP3, T'Bird 59.0b1 (32-bit)

  • E:\Data\Thunderbird\~844wiobk.default\Mail\mail.cerrillos.net\Inbox.sbd\Biking.sbd\E-Bikes.sbd folder
  • E:\Data\Thunderbird\~844wiobk.default\Mail\mail.cerrillos.net\Inbox.sbd\Biking.sbd\GEARs.sbd folder

  • E:\Data\Thunderbird\~844wiobk.default\Mail\mail.cerrillos.net\Inbox.sbd\Personal.sbd folder

If there are mbox files: In the 'Local Folders' mail account. Use the following method to import mbox files into various folders. Obviously selecting the correct folder each time as appropriate. eg:

  • Right click on 'E-Bikes' folder
  • select 'ImportExportTools' > 'Import mbox file'
  • Select 'Import directly one or more mbox files'
  • click on 'OK'
  • Locate E:\Data\Thunderbird\~844wiobk.default\Mail\mail.cerrillos.net\Inbox.sbd\Biking.sbd\E-Bikes.sbd folder
  • Select all the no extension mbox files in that folder and click on Open.

re: Message Filters:

Exit Thunderbird.

E:\Data\Thunderbird\844wiobk.default\Mail\mail.cerrillos.net Message Filters are in this file: msgFilterRules.dat It has a size of 29kb, so must have some filters. You can open that file using Notepad to read filters.

The msgFilterRules.dat file can be copy / pasted into your current profile name mail account folder:

It should be in the same place as your Inbox mbox file.

I couldn't get IMAP to work as I wished, and was told it wouldn't ever. Told to reinstall TBird as POP. Did so. Ergo current problem. This strongly reminds me of how my profile got split a few years ago....
