Hi I have had problems setting up a new Yahoo account to send and receive from Thunderbird. After many weeks I have got it working but I need to bring in all my archived mail and local folders to bring it up to date. These are in different folders, how do I do this whilst maintaining my current mail on my 2 email accounts?

Hello there again.

Put the mail back where it normal is stored.

To just copy and paste. To make it happen you can use an add-on from Thunderbird.

Import export tool-add-on. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/
