I have yearly archive folders (2015,2016,2017) which I would like to put on a DVD or external hard drive. How should I do this with Win 7.

I would like to be able to reload a archive back to the computer from which they were originally archived in Thunderbird so I could search for a specific email sender. Would it be possible to search a archive on DVD without loading the complete archive back into Thunderbird ?
Ah, this is where your cunning plan falls down. :-(

It is, sadly, not easy to import or re-attach saved messages in Thunderbird.

I'd suggest you experiment with the ImportExportTools add-on. Save the messages as eml with an html index. You'll be able to search the index and use it to open an eml file, which will open in your default email client, presumably Thunderbird.

How do you anticipate using your backed up Archive folders? This will influence the choice of how to go about it.
