I archived e-mails from a local folder and now they are missing
I had maybe 100-200 e-mails in a local folder. I archived them with the menu. TB flashed a message that they were in folder "2014". That's nice. Now where the blazes is folder 2014? It's nowhere to be found.
The help documents all say to configure the location of the archive folder on the "Copies & Folders" section of the "Accounts & Settings" page. But "Copies & Folders" does not exist for local folders. So where the heck are my e-mails?

Technically, TB didn't actually lose the messages. It just scattered them to the four winds, where they would never be found.
It moved them out of Local Folders, back into the mail box accounts where they came from. There they were archived by year in various folders.
I managed to restore them back into Local Folders from a backup. Incidentally, that procedure was not without white knuckles because I had added a subfolder since the backup, and TB just went berserk.
This is not for the faint of heart. I can attest that things can go very wrong. Be sure to back up the profile before you try this, and don't make any changes to the profile while TB is open.
