Move large number of emails from active Inbox to a local folder
My Thunderbird is IMAP'ed to my generic usa.net email server. It downloads everything to Thunderbird serving as backup only. I have set that local delete does not delete on the server.
It has now amassed ~200.000 emails in the active Thunderbird Inbox. (No, I don't want to delete any !:o) I want to move the ~200.000 emails to a local folder not affecting the ongoing download sync from usa.net. The local folder is to be offline.
How do I bulk move the ~200.000 emails in the active Thunderbird Inbox to a local Thunderbird folder? - not deleting anything locally or on the server - keeping the sync download from the usa.net server running onwards into the now purged Inbox - not having the sync re-download from the server (defeats my intended purpose #:o)

I am unclear on what you are asking. Since you are using IMAP, my suggested steps are:
- click file/offline/download <== this is only to ensure that all message content and headers are on PC
- after this, all messages are on PC .
- install the importexport NG addon if not already done
- highlight Local Folders, rightclick and select importexport menu to import mbox, and then locate and select the inbox folder from the profile at the imapmail<accountname> folder
Oh, I was afraid I over-explained §:o)) I will check your kind suggestion out ...
