I recently archived locally about 10 years worth of emails successfully (the emails were removed from the my ISP's servers and I opted for a yearly format). I can easily find these in Thunderbird but of course they are not on the mail server anymore. Settings info: I have Message Archives set to "Archives on Local Folder" followed by my email address (I set it up with this name so that I can find the archives specifically for backup by my Sinology server). However, my Sent folder (shows a paper airplane icon) is missing, although I also downloaded it and thought it would be saving locally. When I verified my Archive options in TB, I noticed that while I had selected "Yearly archived folders" I did '''not''' select "Keep existing folder structure of archived messages". I assume that this is a mistake on my part? '''My questions are: ''' Q1. Where are my Sent emails - would they be mixed in with received messages in each yearly archive? Q2. How do I access these sent emails within the TB search window? Any advice and suggestions would be most appreciated and thank you. C.
