How do I configure the new "Local Folders" archive set just created - so they'll be displayed and searchable in the Email folder view?
Thunderbird v128.9.0esr (64-bit) on Linux Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
I have archived emails on my IMAP server for some time.
Now to avoid a full quota on the server I have reconfigured the Archive to "Local Folders" and changed the configuration to yyyy/yyyy-mm.
After archiving "fresh" emails and re-archiving from the IMAP server archive folder
I can see the respective sequences of folders under the menu
- Account Settings
- email@account.com
- Copies & Folders
- Archives on Local Folder
and within the file selector menu
- Archives on Local Folders
- Local Folders
- Archives
- 2023
- 2023-01
- 2023-02
- etc
The result in the email account folder shows the old "Archive" folder - but now emptied - alongside new (unarchived) emails.
On interrogating the Archive folder properties the location reported is the (previous) IMAP address.
So how do I:
- identify the location of the newly created "Local Folders" archive set, and
- make the Archive folder set display and be searchable in the Email folder view?
