Use the built-in 'Local Folders' account.

How to use it? If I don't create new account left menu bar of thunderbird is empty. There is no 'Local Folders'.
There should always be at least a 'Local Folders' account.
Please post a screenshot of your folder pane. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

Here. There is no 'Local Folders' account.
What happens if you do the following:
- click on the 'Menu icon' - 3 horizontal bars
- Choose 'New Message > 'Folder'
- 'New folder' window opens
- Give it a suitable name.
Create as a subfolder of :
- choose 'Local Folders' from drop down
- click on 'Create Folder' button
Exit and then restart Thunderbird to see if this time 'Local Folders' is displayed in the left pane with the new folder.

When I do this "Choose 'New Message > 'Folder'" Nothing happens. No window appears.
