I have backed up my old emails by copying/renaming the folders under which TB stored the mails and created a new folder for current use. How can I view these old emails using the same thunderbird? I am looking for a feature such as add folder which when accessed show up the mails as stored previously by thunder bird

appreciate help thanks Raman

If you copied the folders intact, in Thunderbird's format, just copy the folder under Local Folders and restart Thunderbird.
