I think I made a mistake - after successfully archiving locally, I don't see a Sent folder, just archives by year?

I recently archived locally about 10 years worth of emails successfully (the emails were removed from the my ISP's servers and I opted for a yearly format). I can easily find these in Thunderbird but of course they are not on the mail server anymore.

Settings info: I have Message Archives set to "Archives on Local Folder" followed by my email address (I set it up with this name so that I can find the archives specifically for backup by my Sinology server).

However, my Sent folder (shows a paper airplane icon) is missing, although I also downloaded it and thought it would be saving locally.

When I verified my Archive options in TB, I noticed that while I had selected "Yearly archived folders" I did not select "Keep existing folder structure of archived messages". I assume that this is a mistake on my part?

My questions are: Q1. Where are my Sent emails - would they be mixed in with received messages in each yearly archive? Q2. How do I access these sent emails within the TB search window?

Any advice and suggestions would be most appreciated and thank you. C.

I am posting this just in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.

I found a partial answer yesterday, after a lot of searching, here: https://support.mozilla.org/zh-CN/questions/1216846 RE: "Q1. Where are my Sent emails - would they be mixed in with received messages in each yearly archive?" YES RE: "Q2. How do I access these sent emails within the TB search window?" Changing the headings in the mail list to show From instead of Correspondents. You then look for your own email address to see what you sent. Clunky, but doable. There are probably better ways of doing this.

Interesting - 25 views so far, but no one had any suggestions? A bit disappointing TBH.
