How can I move mail from the offline folder inbox to a local folder?
I have an IMAP account and my provider lost all but the last week of my emails. I still have them in the offline folder in Thunderbird so as long as I stay offline I can see the emails but I want to move them to local folders so I can go back online and sync the account without losing them all. How can I do this?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/try using the import export tools to make EML backups of the mail. then if that works you can go online and allow the sync. If your provider simply lost the mail they may sync successfully. if not you can drag the EML files into the IMAP folders (A few at a time) and they should sync up

Ah! You are BRILLIANT!! Thank you so very very very much. Your solution worked PERFECTLY! I now have all the messages I had lost aside from the past two months as the only computer I still had the offline messages was two month out of date BUT losing two months is far better than losing 5 years. You are my new personal HERO! Honestly, I can't thank you enough. This was nightmare and you solved it simply, beautifully, and completely.
