I am unclear on the issue. Have you looked in the sbd folders?

oui j'ai bien les dossier mais il n'apparaissent pas dans TB voir capture ecran

les dossiers sont bien la mais pour par exemple 2025 il n'y a qu'un email alors qu'ils devrait y en avoir beaucoup plus

Ok, but those are folders and the archive may be there. Please click open the spd folders to see if a file is there.

voila pour 2025 par exemple

What am I misunderstanding? That looks like archive message folders.

les dossiers sont la mais dans TB ils n'apparaissent pas..aucun message dans archive 2025 et les autres

Now I think I understand. The archive folders are there, but not displaying. I am not an expert on how files are managed, but the fact that you are seeing double file structures may be the issue. For example, your first screenshot showed 2021.sbd and also 2021 and 2021.msf. My suggestion is to exit thunderbird and delete the individual files of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2205, plus their msf entries. That will leave just the sbd folders. restart thunderbird and see if that helps. Also, then check your settings for archive folders.

Bonjour cela n'a rien chagé

I don't how this happened. Strange to me. However, if you exit Thunderbird, you can copy the archive files directly to Local Folders. For example, you can copy 2021 out from under 2021.sbd and place in Local Folders and the messages should appear on a restart. I do not know why the existing structure has apparently stopped working. I will see if I can locate someone with expertise on sbd folders.

lorsque je fais cette manipulation les dossier 2021..2022 etc sont bien présent dans dossiers locaux mais aucun emails n'apparaissent !!! c'est vraiment etrange et merci en tout cas pour votre aide!!

j'ai reussi a faire une manip et j'ai enfin pu recuperer les emails de 2022 jusqu'a 2025 dans les dossiers locaux...c'est parfait!!!!!!!!!!! me reste plus qu'a trouver une solution pour refaire basculer les archives thunderbird sur le serveur de ma boite email pour avir comme ca 2 sauvegarde!

If you have archives defined on the IMAP account, the messages can be COPIED back. If there are many, I suggest creating a manual filter to do that. I suggest copying instead of moving to ensure no loss of messages during the process. IMAP wasn't designed for high-volume uploads. After all is well, you can delete the local copies if desired.

Je ne sais pas vraiment comment faire

Now this is an interesting situation. Your problem is this: For some reason you have an incorrect set up. Your 'Inbox' contains two 'Drafts' folder and two 'Sent' folders and also the 'Archives' folder and maybe more folders like 'Junk' and 'Trash' None of those folders should be in the 'Inbox', they should be top level folders under 'Local Folders' and not subfolders to an 'Inbox' and you should not have two 'Drafts' and not have two 'Sent' folders.

Your Local Folders 'Inbox' contents is being shown in image so your profile folder image 'Local Folders' > 'Archives.sbd' > '2025.sbd' cannot be seen in Folder Pane. Your Folder Pane is saying this 'Local Folders' > 'Inbox.sbd' > 'Archives.sbd' > '2025'

I'm looking at your Folder Pane Under 'Local Folders' which I think is called 'dossiers locaux', but I cannot see the name in the image. I'm looking a folder called 'Courrier entrant' in English that is the 'Inbox' and it has an Inbox icon.

Please be honest...Have you attempted to move folders either in the Folder Pane or in the profile folders Local Folders folder ?

I need to see if you have more folders in the 'Local Folders'

• In Folder Pane
• Click on the > chevron to collapse the 'Archives' folder
• Make sure 'Local Folders' is visible at the top.
• I need to see all the folders you have in 'Local Folders' so I understand the entire structure.
• Post image of Folder Pane showing everything in 'Local Folders'

But before I advise you to move them, I need to see what else is stored and where. This could be a little tricky as we do not want to lose anything.

Please make sure you always include the directory showing profile name > mail > local folders > etc as I need to be sure we are viewing the correct location. In profile folders please post an image showing all contents of:

• 'Mail' folder
• 'Local Folders' folder
• Local Folders > 'Inbox.sbd' folder

Do you have more than one profile in the 'Roaming' > 'Thunderbird' > 'Profiles' folder ?

In 'Account Settings'

• Select 'Local Folders' in left pane
• On the right, look for 'Local Directory:'
• Copy all the contents of what it says and post it into this forum or post an image but make sure we can see all the info.

This will tell me exactly where the current 'Local Folders' is looking.

Please note: I'm making my observations based on the images you have posted.

If you have made significant alterations to the 'Local Folders' account then it would be a good idea to let us know. But it is badly wrong to have all your folders in the Inbox. Thunderbird does not set up the 'Local Folders' account to have that structure.

voila les diverses copie d'ecran Pour l'instant j'ai bien récupéré les archives 2022 ..2023..2024..2025..... Je voudrai les renvoyer vers ma messagerie wanadoo.mais je n'y arrive pas
