I am trying to both back up my email and make my office more portable. I created a backup of all my relevant folders from my office Computer, but when I copy this folders into the "local folders" folder on my notebook, Thunderbird does not see them. Is there a way to make these folders actually backed up and useable. I have been able to backup local folders before, and see them, but I can't seem to do it now. I carefully copies all the three files that make up the Thunderbird "folder" file (the folder itself, and the MSF file and the SBD file), but they are still not showing up in "Local Folders" on Thunderbird. I really need the content of those archives.

You can try to create the folder structure in Thunderbird on the notebook computer. Then copy over only the actual mail file, i.e. the one without a file name extension, and place it into the desired folder. Don't copy the *.msf files.
