Hello,

I have created a folder in local profile and imported some EML files into that folder, after this I have copied that folder(datafile with the folder name and .msf file) from the profile path and paste this file into the IMAP profile. When I launch the Thunderbird, the IMAP profile can be sync and immediately delete the copied data. I tried this step 3-4 times every time getting the same result. Please help!!

Best Regards, Rupesh Shinde

try moving the mail from within Thunderbird so the IMAP process to add individual emails to the IMAP folder can occur. YOu can not add a folder to the file system and have it work.
