Hi! I am migrating an email account form POP to IMAP. The Archive of the POP account already contains a few thousand emails, which I would prefer to keep locally. The solution I found is, to move the Archive to "local folders". Unfortunately the "local folders" default email account does not show in the accounts list on the left side of the Thunderbird window and thus I cannot access the local folder structure.... I have 2 IMAP and several POP accounts in TB 31.4/german + Windows. All accounts are listed in the left window - but no "local folders". Any idea how to make my "local folders" come up again? Thanks

First make sure you have this setting: View > Folders > All or Menu icon > Folders > All

Make sure you have scrolled right down to the bottom just in case it is there but out of view.
