in my PC I have a Folder named "Old mails" with eml-files. In the Local folder in Thunderbird in settings, I have browsed and choosed the folder "Old mails". Then I can see the folder "Old mails" in the Local folder, but not the mails. Is there any solution? //Otto

Select the eml files in the Explorer folder, and drag and drop them onto the 'Old mails' folder icon in the folder pane of TB, the pane that shows all the folder icons, Inbox, Sent, etc.

I couldn't use the folders I choosed when I browsed in settings in Local folder. I had to make new folders directly in Local maps. Now it's fine. Thanks. Otto
