Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
1. Click-and-drag a mail folder (containing many subfolders and messages) from an imap host
2. Hold down the Ctrl key to ensure that the folder is copied
3. Drop the folder onto Local Folders account
I expect the folder, all its subfolders, and all messages therein to be copied, complete with structure, to my local folders.
A simple folder structure with 4 subfolders, 2 sub-subfolders, and 14 messages succeeded.
A large folder structure with 5 subfolders, each containing 5-20 sub-subfolders, and a grand total of 743 messages partially failed, silently.
- The folder structure appears to have been copied successfully.
- Only 56 messages were copied
- Unsuccessful subfolders have been created on disk as empty files
Note my local folder settings:
user_pref("mail.account.account1.server", "server1");
user_pref("mail.accountmanager.localfoldersserver", "server1");
user_pref("mail.server.server1.directory", "/home/roydsd/Documents/Email");
