I try to import my Inbox, outbox etc mailmaps into Thunderbird after everything got emptied after a removing an old account en making a new one. But when I browse to the map on my C:/ Thunderbird doesn't show the files in that map. This is the old location C:\Users\hp\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\z6cvzrxo.default\Mail This is the new directory that was made when I created an account with the setting from the new provider C:\Users\hp\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\z6cvzrxo.default\ImapMail\web0097.zxcs-2.nl This is where Thunderbird is pointing to. I tried to copy/past all the messages into the new directory but still when browsing with the TB importfunction the map does not show any files. I installed the import/export Addon but no result either.

Problem solved. I installed a new account , this time not with IMAP but POP. Than I could copy paste all the maps into the new folder.
