Good day, I have a big file of Thunderbird e-mails saved in my hard disk. These are imap e-mails, original are kept in the server. I have all back up files of thunderbird but I do not have access to the server any more. I need to set up these Thunderbird e-mails to any software for searching, printing, viewing the e-mails as offline. I do not intend to send&receive e-mails, I jest need viewing, searching, printing teh exsting e-mails as offline. Do you have a solution on this?

Best regards Kivanc

This may do it: - click help>troubleshootinginformation - scroll down to 'profile folder' - click 'open folder' -exit TB - in Imapmail folder, look for <accountname> folder - message folders should be there. - COPY them to Mail\Local Folders folder - restart TB and check to see that you have all the messages - now you may delete the old account
