After migrating to windows 10, I have added local folder files (file + msf file) to the "AppData\Roaming\thunderbird\profiles\xxx.default\mail\local folders" folder. When I open thunderbird, these new local folders do not appear and I can't have access to them.

I had done the same when on Windows 8.1 and everything worked fine at that time ...

Can somebody help me there?

Thanks

Nicolas

Open Tools/Account Settings, select Local Folders in the left pane, then look at the path for 'Local directory' in the right pane. Is it the same as the path mentioned in your post? Even if it is, click Browse and select the directory and see if that makes the folders accessible.
