Hi, I have imported mbox file and Thunderbirds shows the initial view of messages. However, when I double click the mail to open the mail, I says :

File not found 

Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
   Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

The file folder path isD:\Ortaklık\1_Mail\Mail_Retail The file name is RetailOmni_postalar002.mbox

I couldnt get why it says this error.

Could you please help? Thank you
