Message files on HDD not visible within Thunderbird
Dear Reader On 2018-09-12 I upgraded to Thunderbird 60, on 2018-09-16 I noticed that messages were missing within my Local Folders.
While researching a fix for this issue, I learned about maildir, (from my backups) that I have been using maildir since at least 2018-03-12 (with whatever version of Thunderbird was current at that time, not that I recall changing the format but there it is) and that the missing messages still appear to be on my HDD, I just do not see them within Thunderbird.
I have tried a folder repair without success and I have not been able to find any solutions with a websearch. I do NOT want to do a full scale restore because very many messages get filed into my Local Folder, folder hierarchy every day. So, could you explain or point me to a webpage that explains how I might get Thunderbird to see these "invisible" messages.
Sincerely

Hello Matt, Thanks for the reply, after further research I had also discovered what I thought I was looking at was indeed something else.
So, it turns out what I in fact need, is a way of getting all those *.wdseml files back into the Thunderbird message files. So I used your solution from

which worked... Cheers.

unless you took some very deliberate actions to modify setting in the config manager of Thunderbird I really doubt you are using maildir.
What in you backups makes you think you are using it. (mozeml files are not maildir, they are a mess created years ago so the brain dead windows search could search mail.)

Just remember that wdseml files are not complete emails. no attachments and limited in size
