Hello,

I've recently removed one of my two e-mailaccounts in Thunderbird.

I did not remove the messages of this e-mailaccount (stored on my pc).

I don't see how I can open the messages of this old e-mailaccount.

Can you help my further?

Thanks in advance.

Chosen solution

In that case, to avoid a technical solution, use the import-export addon to import mbox (as each message file is an mbox) to Local folders. Just highlight local folders, right click and open import-export menu and select the import mbox option. If not installed, use the addons menu to add it.

Please provide more information. Are the message folders visible? If not, how do you know they are available?

The folders are not visible in the apllication, but they are still available in the user folder of Thunderbird (storage location on hard disk).
