I tried to migrate from Postbox to Thunderbird. I backed it up the profile folder from postbox. Now I can`t see my local folders where a archived all my email older than a week.

Can you help me? What do I have to do to show them on the left pane like it was before?

Thanks Carlos

Not a postbox user, but assuming it is still as Thunderbird as it was under the hood as when they forked it, you should be able to simply use the same profile folder Does your profile have a profiles folder that contains the actual profile folder which has your files? .
