If it's on imap, then forget about TB mbox files. the messages are on

it exactly does. so don't play this game).
I could start over with
Thunderbird by downloading everything into Thunderbird from the IMAP
server.
The problem is that if I ever want to migrate from Thunderbird, I want
to be sure that I know where the mbox files are located and at this
time, I cannot find the mbox files.
just leave all mail on the server and use whatever client you want.
that's one of the benefits of imap.
The documentation on the Thunderbird support site is not showing what I
am seeing on my Desktop box.
most people use POP3, in which case messages are downloaded and stored
locally. Things are different with imap. the copies that the client
holds are only for performances and you are not supposed to use them.
Possibly I should post this on a
Thunderbird mailing list, because their documentation shows something
that is not correct?
