Hello everyone,

I am having a bit of an issue archiving my past emails. I followed the archiving instructions to the letter and it does indeed work like in the tutorial here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages. I created the structure i need for the ”Sent” folder and I get the ”year/month/sent” folders in the left bar in thunderbird. Great! But when I archive the ”Inbox” folders as a second step, with the same settings, they never appear anywhere in the structure. I am assuming they should be in the ”year/month/inbox folder”. I need to archive my past emails on a local drive, as I work with a lot of attachments (cannot be helped, not the issue here) and I need to access them in an orderly fashion through the Thunderbird interface, not just have them somewhere on a drive. So the question is how can I archive ALL my foders (emphasis on all - sent/inbox/other) on a local drive and have them appear in the left sidebar in tunderbird, in a folder structure organised by date?
