I have copied my profile to an external drive using File Explorer. There were 2 files. Now I need to copy to the Local Folders in the profile. I have chosen Archive folder under Local Folders for each email account. How do I copy to the Local Folders. Or do I just copy the emails I want to archive to the Local Folders. How does Thunderbird know where the external drive is located, or does it need to know. Thanks David.

Please be a bit more specific. For example, what do you mean by 'there were 2 files'? What is your goal here? Thanks.
