So just to clarify for someone like me.....who has a three sub-folders
under my GMail account running on TB. You're saying I should move those
folders to the "Local Folder" on my computer and away from under the
Inbox for GMail? I have filters set up in TB that send certain e-mail
addresses to those folders.....will the filters still work when I move
them? (I have folders for the Fedora Users Group....the CEntOS Users
Group...and the Scientific Linux Users Group!) Just want to know before
I go and move them
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
also these same folders are also existent on the
GMail servers, will my moving the ones on TB affect those as well?...
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.
Thanks for this important info!....
