I want to move my email message archive out of the per-profile,
Local Folders message archive tree. I'd like to tell Thunderbird that the logical "Local Folders" has a physical location {path}/{folder}. Does anyone know how to do this?
Clearly, this is a Thunderbird issue so I've tried to take this to the Mozilla forums, but I'm caught in the sight credentials Ouroboros: registration says "username in use" and find-password says, "no such username" ... for every name that I've tried.
I use Linux Mint 18.1 and they deploy Thunderbird (Mozilla) as their email client.
Each email user has a profile. Each profile has a folder tree.
In that folder tree are folders and files with details about each email server, the address book, and all of the stored email messages.
Buried among the email is a folder tree called
Local Folders.
Thunderbird uses this
Local Folders for what they call
Global Inbox -- all inbound messages show in a common folder across all email accounts. I do not use this feature.
Another use for
Local Folders involves message archives. BINGO!
I use these archive folders.
Thanks in advance,
