How to set back to mbox for new account in thunderbird

adam81 replied

Hi, lot of years ago I have changed TB to use maildir ibstead of mbox for new accounts, Now I met some filtering issue I can't fix and it is proabely caused by maildir.

So I'd like to set TB to use mbox with new accounts instead of maildir.

Some additional info: TB 144.0.1 (64 bit), win 10 pro, I have 4 mbox accounts and one maildir account.

There is no need to export / import / keep data existing on maildir account. I can remove it with no pain. I just want to setup TB to create new accounts as mbox again.

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA

The option is defined as being for new accounts, so setting for mbox should not affect current accounts.

I know! But HOW to set it?

It works fine. Thank U. Side effect - filtrering with new mbox account seems to work properly now.
