local folders not visible, are these same as Archive?
My online quota is full and I want to download and keep a lot of mail in a dozen different online folders. How can I download and protect/save/backup these so that they won't be erased when I delete them from the server when Thunderbird next goes online. There are no "local folders" visible on my folder list. How can I find/create them? And what's the difference between local folders and archive? Sorry if this is obvious stuff but I'm used to POP and can't seem to work this out!
Many thanks.

Probably
View menu (AQlt+V) > folder > all will locate "local folders.
Archive is really where you tell it to be. The default in IMAP is an archive folder in the IMAP account.
Tools menu (alt+T) > Account settings > Copies folders allows you to "SET" the archive folder to a folder in whatever account you like. Local folders is an option.
Also take the time while there to review the archive options as to folder layout and make sure it is how you like. (Retaining existing folder structure is not a default selection)
