When I migrated Thunderbird from a Windows environment to my new Apple Mac it did not migrate my local folders. Can someone explain the process?

I have the mozmsgs and sbd folders on my new Mac and have manually put them in the "local folders" directory but they are not recognised.

Regards Joe

Mozmsgs files are just windows search garbage. They are not your email, only a small part (42Kb I think) from the beginning of the email for windows to index SDB folders provide the structure for your emails which are stored in files without a file extension within them. One file for each folder of mail

Behelpsum?
