Moving email to local inbox does't work

I have messages in an online inbox that I am attempting to move to my local inbox but nothing happens. I created a "new-inbox" folder and the messages do move there but I still cannot place in my local inbox. I have tried to repair folder but that didn't help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is this account an IMAP or POP account?

Do you see the messages from your “online inbox” in Thunderbird? Or is the problem that you do not see them? What do you mean by a “local inbox”? Do you mean in local folders? Why do you want more than one inbox?
