I moved my local folders to a new drive.

You'd need to explain exactly what you did.

Hallo Chris,

i did this. In TB, Right Click, Local Folders, Settings, Changed the location for the local folders to my G drive. That is ok, the folder is there. But, all the old messages are still in my C:Users/Roaming... profile. I have found them, but cannot read them.

Thanks

Russ

If you haven't started collecting mails in G:\....\Local Folders Delete everything in there and move everything from c:\........\Local folders to G:.....

BUT if you started collecting mails in G:\...\Local Folders. rename those folders and then add every mbox-file (those without an extension) and sub-directory from your C:\....\Local Folders to G:.....

you can also rename the c: ...mboxes Just so you don't overwrite.

AppData is normaly a hidden directory so you don't delete by mistake. Be careful with your new folders. There are better ways to make room on your C-drive like exporting or saving attachments to G-drive

Thanks for your reply, but I do not have a problem finding the folders at all. I just cannot read the emails that are in those folders. Any advice in this area would be appreciated.

Thanks

Russ

Have you moved them to G: ? Do they show up on Tbird? Close Tbird and go to your profile. delete panacea.dat (or rename it) start Tbird.

What was the reason to start messing with this in the first place? It's not recommended, unless you know exactly what you're doing. I'd just revert the change, and you should be good to go again.

Hallo Christ1

Thanks, this worked.

Great that it worked! But its risky business, accidentally move it and your connection to local folders is lost. Your G: drive isn't your G: drive or it's disconnected. I would instead use ImportExportTools to export all old local mboxes. You can always import it again if you need it.
