Messages from an old email account are partially visible in search results, but nothing displays when I open those results.
Hi there! I used to subscribe to Yahoo's paid email hosting service but switched to my current host (and switched to accessing my email via Thunderbird) about 18 months ago; my Yahoo subscription ended about a year ago.
When I switched to Thunderbird, I had two servers -- one for Yahoo, and one for my current host. I regularly backed up my profile, which included both servers.
Now, when I search in Thunderbird for an email from the old Yahoo account, I can see at least some of the contents of that email in my search results, but when I try to open any individual result, it's empty.
I don't have access to the Yahoo server anymore, but I do have the backed-up profile from when I did have access to that Yahoo server. Is there a change I can make in my settings that will allow me to view the contents of those individual emails that I can see in my search results?
Thanks a bunch for any help you can provide.

Import the yahoo mail folders from your backup to your current local folders. (Type is mbox)
