Hi. Using TB 91.2.1 I tried to move a 3GB local folder tree to my email server. I worked for the nested folders, but the subfolder messages were NOT included. How can I move or copy a nested folder tree, including the messages, to another location (an IMAP server, in my case)? Please note that the large size of the tree would optimally require some support for connection problems, too... e.g. is there an add-on for this? Thank you for your advice in advance!

Trying to find an add-on, but cannot identify a suitable one that would work with TB91. Please advice: Need to copy nested local folders, including messages!
