After 20+ Years Eudora I transferred to Thunderbird 17.0.9 ESR because this seems to be the version that does this job. Indeed all emails are transferred to local folders under the folder EudoraImport. But! One big subfolder, including many, many subfolders don't show in the folder list. Though searching the messages, it is reveal that they are available. The profile folder C:\Users\joost\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles etc shows the relevant foldername.sbd empty. Again with search I can find the messages. Before upgrading Thunderbird to the latest version, I would like to solve this. I run windows 7 and intend to go to W10 after everything is okay. It is a pop account as my provider doesn't have IMAP. Looking for a specialist cheers Wof
