There seems to be no copy/move folder function. The addon that did this is 4 years old and stopped working at TB60.

I'm using TB with some IMAP accounts, and want to create an offline archive of old mail. So I need to copy the IMAP accounts (with the folder structure) to a local folder. With a minimum of commands (preferably one!). There was an add-on (still listed) that was well-regarded and did this. But it doesn't work with TB 60 and has not been supported since 2015. Copy/Move of a folder structure seems a useful/crucial function for those of us with a lot of old email. How about building in the function of the old add-on?

Have you tried this add-on?

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/copy-folder-mod/

It seemed to work fine when I copied an IMAP account to Local Folders.

It hasn't been checked by Mozilla so who knows what it does. Thanks for the suggestion, but I had seen it. I can't risk random software on important data.

thunderbird.net is also where you download your copy of Thunderbird from. None of Thunderbird, nor it's add-on are vetted by Mozilla employees. While the FTP site is still on a mozilla.org address, you can not download Thunderbird from a Mozilla site. It is not referenced at all.

Mozilla company ceased development in 2012. and while the Thunderbird project operates under the auspices of the Mozilla foundation, it in not connected to Mozilla co the company that develops Firefox and also an owned subsidiary of the Mozilla foundation.

So I think you need to reappraise you expectation somewhat. Mozilla are not involved and you have been offered a download from the official downloads site for Thunderbird add-ons. Where I might add uploaded add-ons are vetted in much same vetting process as occurs with the addons.mozilla.org before being made public.

If you go to the addon mozilla site https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ you will see it is for Firefox add-ons.

If you go to the Thunderbird add-ons site https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/ you will see it is for Thunderbird and sea monkey. https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ (and for some strange reason Firefox for android. I guess someone forgot to remove that one when they cloned the site.)
