I found that somehow, there is another mailbox folder with my main inbox emails, in a different profile folder than my main profile folder, but on the original computer, it looks seamless (all show up when I open Tbird). I tried to replace my older (2015) inbox with the up-to-date 12/31/2017 inbox, but they still to go the wrong location. Can I edit a config file somewhere in the profile folder to 'fix' the location problem?
