access saved "local files" from previous version
I used the previous version of firefox to catalog and save over ten thousand emails in five level subfolders. I saved "Local Folders" before installing current version of Firefox. During the install I failed to properly reference the old folders, now I have tried a dozen suggested approaches from the community, but none worked. > "import" > copy from saved to file created with windows in mailbox:///C:/Users/hanse/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/m4vfvavk.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/ > copy as above only to "local folder" created in Firefox. Performed each of the above both with simply closing Firefox, and by restarting after each step.
$100. to the first working approach!

re :I used the previous version of firefox ....
Please confirm you mean Thunderbird. What version were you using ?
re : I saved "Local Folders"
How did you do this ? Did you fo the following:
- Exit Thunderbird
- access the profile name folder
- click on 'Mail' folder
- Copy the 'Local Folders' folder and paste it somewhere outside of Thunderbird eg: on your desktop.
If no, then explain exactly what you did.
What exactly have you got saved in the backup copy?
- Select the backup copy of the 'Local Folders' folder to see contents.
Make sure you have 'View' > 'Details' so date and size etc columns are visible.
- Post an image showing contents.
You installed latest version I presume this is version 78.1.1 so now I need to know what is going on in the current Thunderbird.
- Access the profile name folder and click on 'Mail' folder
- Post an image showing the contents of the 'Mail' folder.
- click on 'Local Folders' folder
- Post an image showing the contents of the 'Local Folders' folder.
