Cannot copy messages from local folder to online inbox
When I try to copy emails that I saved in a local folder nothing happens but on the client bar at the bottom left it says "MessageService.CopyMessage is not a function"
All my email messages were copied from my old Office 365 inbox
Searched around seems like no one has the same error message. Can someone help me with this? Thank you

re : emails that I saved in a local folder
Can you clarify a few points. Do you mean you have old Office 365 inbox emails in a folder in the 'Local Folders' mail account in Thunderbird? If yes: When you select any of those emails can you read the contents of the email? If no: where are they - are they in a folder on computer desktop - basically not in Thunderbird.
re :When I try to copy emails Are you doing this:
- Right click on email located in 'Local Folders' mail account and select 'Copy to' and choose imap account 'Inbox'.

What OS are you using ? What version of Thunderbird are you using ?

Sorry for posting again I figured I would retype my question to make it easier to understand... I copied all my messages from my old office 365 inbox to a local folder I created and they are all there. The content is there and I can read the emails content when I double click on them. I setup a new office 365 account and I have to import the messages back on the online inbox. I have done this previously with IMAP emails and I usually right click on the Local Folder messages and choose copy to and it always worked. Is office 365 different? This time I am getting the error "Cannot copy messages from local folder to online inbox" I am using Thunderbird version 115.2.0 on Win11
Normally that should work. Does it fail when trying to do one email? I'm checking through stuff to see if there has been any mention of a problem of this nature with office365 server.
You could try this but it's long winded if doing a load of emails. Right click on email and select 'Redirect' then send TO your email address.
Are you using the standard thunderbird downloaded from: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/
or is this a portableapp version ?
Lets see if the error console can offer more insight.
Tools > Developer tools > Select 'Error Console'
Top right - click on the bin icon to remove content.
Then do a test Select one email in Local Folders and use the 'Copy to' option and select office 365 imap 'Inbox'
Then check the error console, expand anything that is collapsed and post image showing contents.
