Newer Thunderbird (>91.9.1) versions do not create Local Folders with fresh installation without a pre-existing profile.
I have noticed by installing Thunderbird 115.6.1 on a fresh PC that once installed there are no Local Folders. I am used to Thunderbird always automatically creating Local Folders. The person I was setting the PC up needs to access the emails store in an MBOX file and with Local Folders that was always so easy to do. Now the Local Folders are not created automatically and I can't find an option to create them anywhere in the menus. I tested the following Thunderbird versions: - Thunderbird Setup 91.9.1 (Local Folders are created automatically) - Thunderbird Setup 101.0b4 (Local Folders are NOT created automatically) - Thunderbird Setup 110.0b4 (Local Folders are NOT created automatically) - Thunderbird Setup 115.6.1 (Local Folders are NOT created automatically)
