I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, Thunderbird 78.13.0 and Thunderbird 68.7.0

I have an old mailbox on my local drive in the form of deeply-nested, named .sbd folders with with mbox sub-folders which I would like to access via Thunderbird, whilst maintaining the folder names and structure.

I have tried using the importexporttools_NG add-on but at best that imports my 980+ folders as numbered mboxes with a flat structure.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

I don;t have the import export tools... they still don;t work with V91 so I can not look at that. But I an sure there is an import with structure.

However. In Thunderbird create a folder in local folders to hold your collection. Then close Thunderbird open your Thunderbird profile folder. open the mail folder and then the "local folders" folder followed by your new "subfolder".sdb

now copy all of your old structure (folders files and everything as is) into that new folder.

Once it is done. Open Thunderbird and all you mail should be there. structured as you copied it.
