Sorry idk if this is the right place to ask.
Struggling with retrieving my offline emails!
Changed the server info and password but email is the same.

So one of my computers still had the emails. I was able to move them into local folders, though moving more than 100 at a day would crash TB. Then I setup the new IMAP sync and everything works fine.
It seems going forward I should send copies to those local folders? TB works rather unintuitively. Thank you for your help! You helped me understand and explore my options :)

Thanks this is really helpful. I would prefer local!
Thank you so very much! This makes me feel a lot better :) I look forward to working on this tonight
POP3 or IMAP? Desktop or Android?
If IMAP, are you sure your local folders are actually local?
Edit: By local I mean in the “Local Folders” tree not under your domain tree where the inbox is.
It’s IMAP and I think I set to keep local but you’re making me doubt myself. Thunderbird settings are worded in a confusing manner
Even if you say to keep a local copy, I do not think it is truely an independent local copy unless you actually move it to “Local Folders”. Otherwise it is probably just a local replica.
No expert with IMAP, though I have used Thunderbird for decades, I have just switched to IMAP myself in the past year.
You’re right. They were not local at all!
