Access to 'Local Folders' in Thunderbird for Android

Thunderbird foar Android E-mail ymportearje en eksportearje

Hello, is there any chance that I can connect in the Thunderbird APP on my phone to my 'Local Folders' used in my Home Desktop version of Thunderbird?

For example: 

With my Android smartphone I'm connected via VPN to my local network at home.
In the Thunderbird APP on my mobile phone I now would like to connect to the folder "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles..." which is located on my Home Desktop PC to see all eMails stored in this path.

The behavior and funktionality in the Thunderbird APP should be the same as on my Desktop PC.

Hopefully I described it understandable...

Thanks in advance,

Ulf

Hello Sharky

No, the scenario you describe is not possible with Thunderbird on Android! The app is built upon K9-Mail and fundamentally different from the desktop app.
