Is there a maximum number of local folders in Thunderbird? Local Folders seems to have stopped accepting new folders

Hi, I received an e-mail from my e-mail provider Comcast that I needed to switch my account from a POP account to an IMAP account. I have done that. They also said that I needed to move my email folders from my POP account to my IMAP account. Somebody on a Thunderbird Yahoo group said I could move them to the Local Folders directory which seemed a lot easier than trying to figure out how to go about moving them to the IMAP account (considering that both accounts have the same name and it would be confusing). I am in the middle of doing that but all of a sudden more folders cannot be added. I wonder if there is a maximum number of folders that Local Folders can handle. If there is a maximum number I wonder if there is a way around it. Thanks. Joyce Keay

Is there a link in the email you received to more information about the change? Please post it to you other thread as I will lock this one. Lets try an minimize the confusion of having two topics open at once.
