I'm on Windows 11, I've archived my gmails to a 3GB zip and extracted it to a local MBOX file. I want to sue Thunderbird only to be able to conveniently see these emails. I don't want any accounts, nor to connect Thunderbird to the internet - I juust want to see the gmails.

I've installed Thunderbird, and the import/export Tools NG add-on. It won't let me import to a unified folder, so I deleted the unified folder. I have no "local folders", so I can't right click on one and select import. I can't see how to make one either, and the help is of no help.

I wonder if somebody could tell me, without assuming knowledge I don't have, how to do this please.

Thanks Chris

Thunderbird calendar notifications don't always work as expected

Hi I am using thunderbird with the integrated events connected to various google domains. My calendar looks synchronized and notifications show up. I am on popos on a laptop. The thing is that a lot of time the notifications show up late; like not hours late, but let's say 5 minutes late and sometimes they don't re-appear after the initial reminder. So it's not 100% sure that you will get reminded or pinged at the right time. I have not figured out any specific rule when it works and when it won't. Curious if anyone else is running into such problems. Thanks Andreas
