This version is Windows 7 specific and has several additions and deletions of software I have tried based on recommendations of readers (and THANKS for the suggestions). Next time you start Thunderbird, you should find folders in that "Old_IMAP" folder, named according to the mbox files you added there, and containing whatever of your IMAP account that was locally cached at the time of backup.This is a Windows 7 version of the previous articles I wrote called The Freeware XP Machine, and The Vista Free Machine. Now, copy the mbox files of your backup of your IMAP account to that "Old_IMAP.sbd" folder. Under "Local Folders", you will find that folder as a file "Old_IMAP" and a folder "Old_IMAP.sbd". The safest would be to create a folder "Old_IMAP" in Thunderbird under "Local Accounts.
So chances are that (part of) your mail of your IMAP account which is closed, still lives in the "Mail/ folder in your backup. Recovering (some of) your IMAP mail from backup It then constantly synchronizes your updates with the IMAP server. Thunderbird makes a local copy of the mail headers and, depending of your account settings, also the mail content, in order to cache the content, i.e., be able to interact with it quickly. IMAP accounts are not designed to "live" on disk.
If you delete them, Thunderbird will recreate them the next time it is opened. They are paired with a file with the same name, but the. mbox files are formatted text files, and in the thunderbird storage, these files are named after the folder name you see in Thunderbird, without extension. You will find subfolders for all your IMAP accounts.īy default, Thunderbird used the mbox format to store mail. Mail from IMAP servers is cached in the folder "ImapMail". That includes mail that you may have dragged there from IMAP accounts for backup, or eventually mail downloaded from POP accounts. All locally stored mail is under the "Mail" folder of that account. The first part of the name is a unique random string of characters for safety against automated hackers. All Thunderbird configuration, including stored and cached email messages, live in a folder named like "fault-release" in a hidden ".thunderbird" folder in your home folder.
