My webhost had me delete my ThunderBird POP3 account, and create a new ThunderBird IMAP account. This took all my folders and files out of Thunderbird!!!

I know where all my folders and files are located on my hard drive.

How do I get my folders & files from my hard drive back to TB?

Any help will be much appreciated.

THANKS IN ADVANCE! Jeff

When you delete a Pop mail account, it disappears from the Account Settings and Folder Pane, but fortunately it still exists in the Profile folder unless you had removed it.

Ideally, you should have moved all the emails into 'Local Folders' before removing the account.

You could use this addon tool to import messages into 'Local Folders' account.

ImportExportTools:

Download the .xpi file and save to desktop or Downloads folder.

To install addon: In Thunderbird 'Tools' > 'Addons' OR 'Menu icon' > 'Addons'

  • click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
  • Locate and select the .xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'.
  • After installing you will need to restart Thunderbird to activate.

In 'Local Folders' create some folders with suitable names. Right click on folder > ImportExportTools There are a couple of Options on importing See image below as example aid.
