i presume you are addressing your question to me, so i reply with;
also read my reply to "staticsafe".
*no* *email folder* should be placed under another _email_folder_.
especially if the parent email folder is an Inbox.
if you do not want an 'email folder' to reside at same level as your
account's Inbox, you should create a *parent folder* and then move
'email folders' below it. *do not* store emails in the _parent_folder_.
if you drag and drop a thunderbird 'email folders' to a new place,
any filter associated with that 'email folder' will be re-written by
thunderbird. you should also get a notice window telling you that the
filter is re-written.
as they sit on your hard drive, *email folders* are _files_.
*parent folders* are _directories_.
*parent folders* will show as "parentname.sbd" and there will be 2
associated files "parentname" and "parentname.msf".
*email folders* files will show as "emailfolder" and "emailfolder.msf".
open up a file browser and look at just how things are laid out
under the *Mail* directory in your profile directory;
\|/
/Home/username/.thunderbird/????????.default/Mail/
yourname 8 alpha/numeric

when you move thunderbird email folders and parent folders on your
system, i can not say what will happen on server if you are using
imap and if it ties back to server.
if using pop3, no.
