I previously asked "why are my emails disappearing and where are they going"? With help from the Community I've learned a lot and have found where they are going (C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\z0lfzcca.default-release\Mail\Local Folders - and my Archive folder Looks like this;

Local Folders Archives Date File 32,049 Archives.msf Date MSF File 164 Archive Date File 34,340 Archive.msf Date File 105

So my data is there but it does not show up in TB. When I look at these folders on the TB main menu they are empty. My new question is how do I get TB to display this data in the folders in TB main menu when I open it? I have checked my settings and it shows;

"Message Archives" Keep Messages in Archives Folder on - Local Folders

But they are not there. Using “BitRecover Thunderbird Viewer” I see them in the Local folders (Right) but when I look at this folder in the TB main menu there not visible. Please see the uploaded image of the BitRecover menu

I've uploaded that part of the directory below. I also uploaded a shot of my TB main menu showing I have an MBOX folder in the menu. Thanks for any help you can give me Bill
