First of all...Thank you for your time! I have been using Thunderbird for many years. In the past I could have the Local Folders anywhere I wanted, install Thunderbird on a computer and point it at the local folders. Presto! There was all my stuff. I did this very thing under Linux...local folders on a thumb drive. No problem all is well. Rebooted to Windoze 10. Opened Thunderbird, deleted the existing POP account, created a new IMAP account, pointed the new account at the local folders and.....huh? where are they? I can browse to the folders and see them using windoze explorer. But Thunderbird cannot see them. OK...reboot to Linux and see what Linux Thunderbird sees....equally nothing...now. Tried restoring from a backup the whole folder....still nothing. HELP!

IMAP is a synchronises account. You can not "just point it" to the old data folders and have it pick it up. If it did it would copy all the mail to the server.

OK...so why was my Linux side working just fine before the attempt on the windows side and now that the windows side did whatever it did, the Linux side won't see them. How do I resurrect all of this and recover my local folders?
