You probably would need to see the problem to understand ,,,

knowing you, i can well imagine. :-P
i am presuming that you have done like many thunderbird users and that
you have created folders for you emails in your
bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxx or bobgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx
account folder and now you want to move all those emails.
with thunderbird, you can drag an email folder to a different place and
thunderbird will update your filers to reflect new folder location.
with one exception, an email folder _can_not_ be moved between account
folders or Local Folders. only way emails can be moved between account
folders or Local Folders is to create a new folder where you want emails,
then drag the emails to new folder.
alternative is to close thunderbird and use a file browser, locate the
folder file you want to move, then drag the folder file to new location
and delete to *.msf file for the folder file.
same applies for moving a top folder if you use subfolders.
as for filters, if you move an email folder in thunderbird window,
thunderbird will modify the filter/s for that folder to new location.
and again, with one exception, which again is moving an email folder
between accounts or Local Folders. which as stated above, can not
be done.
this is where you close thunderbird, then again using file browser,
locate the account folder and edit the file "msgFilterRules.dat".
to edit, make a backup of the file, then open file in a plane text
editor.
filter file has a basic layout of;
version="9" { the filter version
logging="yes" { enable logging of filtering
name= { name of the filter
enabled="yes" { filter is enabled
type="17" { HIIK
action="Move to folder"
{ action selected by "Preform these actions:"
{ in lower half of "Filter Rules" window when
{ filter was created.
actionValue="mailbox://geleem%40bellsouth.net@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Inbox"
{ second part of of above "action="
condition="AND (from,contains,branch1-sender1)"
{ selection/s made in upper part "Filter Rules"
before i go further, do you have any questions relating to above?
.
/home/bobg/.thunderbird/6gjqb341.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/msgFilterRules.dat
Yes, that appears to contain the Thunderbird filter rules I would like
to move along with the mail.
What else do I need to know about this?
