Hi,

I remember from the past, the existence of a file (with a strange name) which contained additional information (tags, forwarded etc) for every (IMAP-) email-message.

Problem is, I can't find it any more, and (stupid me) I forgot it's name and where it's located.

Could someone please

  • help my memory with the name and where it's (or was) located
  • AND when it has been replaced in TB128 by something else, what that something is and where it's located

Thank you

The file you’re remembering is likely:

  • .msf files — Mail Summary Files. These are the index files Thunderbird used to keep track of metadata for each folder.
  • they are Located in your profile folder under something like:
   ...\Thunderbird\Profiles\<your-profile>\ImapMail\<imap-server>\
