I just installed Beta 114. I currently have a Thunderbird 102 installation with a POP Account. There are three subfolders to the Inbox on that POP account. I would like to import the folders and messages to the 114 installation but haven't been able to figure out how to do that. When I added that account to 114 I used IMAP instead of POP.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I figured out a way to get what I needed. I just had to move the folders from the inbox associated with that POP account down to 'Local Folders'. Then I could export everything from the 102 version and import to 114 and move the folders to where I needed them.

114 with accounts as imap and 102 as pop accounts won't work well, or at all.

You will need to a) describe what subfolders you have for Inbox and why you set it up that way b) decide whether you can change to all imap for both 102 and 114

If you can't change to all imap then I suggest not using beta.
