I have a folder will a bunch of email. The server copy has been accidentally deleted. The local computer has a copy of the folder. I am not letting it to sync with the server. Now I want to copy all the email from that folder to a new folder. But Thunderbird won't let me do it because it wants to sync with the server first. Frustrating. Please help. Thanks.
