Local folders not visible, are these same as Archive?

My online quota is full and I want to download and keep a lot of mail in a dozen different online folders. How can I download and protect/save/backup these so that they won't be erased when I delete them from the server when Thunderbird next goes online. There are no "local folders" visible on my folder list. How can I find/create them? And what's the difference between local folders and archive? Sorry if this is obvious stuff but I'm used to POP and can't seem to work this out!
Many thanks.

Probably
View menu (AQlt+V) > folder > all will locate "local folders.
Archive is really where you tell it to be. The default in IMAP is an archive folder in the IMAP account.
Tools menu (alt+T) > Account settings > Copies folders allows you to "SET" the archive folder to a folder in whatever account you like. Local folders is an option.
Also take the time while there to review the archive options as to folder layout and make sure it is how you like. (Retaining existing folder structure is not a default selection)

Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.

Personal folders not visible in Thunderbirds after migration to new computer

I moved my Thunderbird profile to a new computer (and edited profiles.ini to point to the backed-up profile. Now in Thunderbird on the new machine I have the Local Folders Inbox, Sent, Trash, but the Personal Files folder with my saved and categorized mail sub-folders is not visible in the left-hand panel. It appears to be intact in the /Mail/Local Folders/Personal Folders.sbd/Archives.sbd folder, just not visible when I run Thunderbird.
What do I have to do to get these folders and their subfolders back again.
...Doug

Doug,
I had the same problem, and believe I found the solution. I was transferring a profile from one computer running Win XP to a new computer running Win 7.
I could see the file folders evident, as you did, using Windows Explorer to look in the profile folder, but they were not showing in the left hand pane of Thunderbird when it was running as they did in the XP machine.
I went to the "Tools" menu, selecting "Account Settings," and then clicked on "Local Folders" in the left portion of the dialog box. Then in the right portion of the dialog box under "Local directory:" I selected the "Browse" button. I then browsed down into the "...AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Mail\Local Folders\Outlook Express Import.sbd" ( in my case - the very last portion of yours might be different but should probably still be a ".sbd" file, and of course, the eight x's would be the random name Thunderbird assigns to your Profile file. ) I then clicked the "OK" button at the bottom of the dialog box. ( I believe the program then informs you it must close and restart. ) Anyway, go ahead and close Thunderbird and restart at this point.
When it restarts, my old folder structure appeared as it did on the earlier machine, and all the files were intact.

Gmail spam folders not visible in Mavericks mail.app

I have upgraded the operating system to Mavericks on one of the Macs I use. In mail.app, I find that the Spam folder in my gmail accounts is not visible; the same is true of a number of other gmail folders that formerly appeared as subfolders of the main [Gmail] folder. I have found no mail.app preferences that might explain this disappearance. By accessing my gmail accounts via a web browser, I have confirmed that the Spam folders are still present in each.
Thanks in advance to anyone else who reports this issue and all the more so to anyone who can suggest a fix.

You have sub-folders of the Inbox???
I did see a post on Mountain Lion forum where the person had the same setup and got it back. I know I was part of the thread, but I can't find it.
You may need to remove the account and re-add it to Mail.

Cache folders not visible

Has anyone else noticed that the cache folders are not visible under OS X 10.7? I found a forum where a user had posted a supposed 'fix' by using the Termial App, and the following command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
However, this did not seem to work for me.
As an aside, I bought my frist Apple IIe when I was in 7th grade, been a LOYAL Apple user ever since. However, Lion just flat out *****. No pretty way to say it. Hangs, Safari crashes, email crashes, Time Machine hang ups, etc, etc, etc.... If I had a dollar for every minute I have sat and whatched the pinwheel................
Thanks for any help/advice.

Yes. That must be the issue. When I tried your suggestion, I received the following message:
The file /Users/yourHome/Library/Caches does not exist.
I first noticed this issue when I was trying to locate the cache folder for Opera (browser). I can see it is saving files to `Library/caches/Opera/temporary files. I just can't locate the Opera cache folder.
Thanks for the suggetion.

Local Folders not updated?

Configuration: UCM and URM 10gR3 on a virtual machine running Windows XP.
I've installed the Folders component for URM, and as far as I can tell everything went smoothly. I am able to drag folders from my desktop into the Oracle WebDav directories viewable in Windows Explorer and I instantly see them in the URM web interface. I then setup a local folder and configured it in the admin area.... but I'm not seeing any syncing going on between the local folder and the virtual folder I have it assigned to.
As I understand it, when I move files into the virtual folder, it should show that file in the associated local folder as well. I've tried this several different ways, restarted the server, the machine, everything... but I can't seem to get any syncing between the two. Is there something I am overlooking in the configuration?
Any tips on doing this?
Thanks,
Brian

Are you running the latest versions of everything?
I found a similar issue with Local Folders on 10g a while back (>12 mths)but I am pretty sure it was fixed.

Local folders not restored when restoring (manual) profile backup.

I had to completely restore my computer system (Windows 8.1) including reinstalling Thunderbird (now version 31.1.2). Before restoring I backed up the profile folder, named nxppmfyc.default on a memory stick, following the Mozilla instructions. The name of the 'new' profile folder created through the new installation of Thunderbird is mmnhpr85.default. Following Mozilla's instructions I copied the contents of the backup folder and pasted it into the 'new' folder. Certain data like the address book were obviously copied and are now available. However the extensive, highly structured local folders are completely missing.

Hello Zenos. Thanks a lot for your comment. I'm not very 'computer savvy' and at first I didn't really understand it but when I went to the Local Folder account settings I realized that the folder name displayed there is quite different from my profile folder (it has the structure of a profile folder element name '...default.Mail'). Would I have to take the folder name of the 'Mail' folder in the profile folder and paste it as folder name for the Local Folder?
But I'm not aware that I did any action at any time in the Local Folder account settings. How could such a strange folder name creep in???

Object found by SUIM, not visible in PFCG (same in AGR_1251 and UST10S)

Dear All,
In SUIM I get some roles listed when I search for a specific authorization object (S_USER_AGR in this case). Wehn I look at the role via PFCG however, the object is not visible.
When I look at the role/profile via tables:
- AGR_1251for the role : object S_USER_AGR not present
- UST10S for profile: S_USER_AGR is present
It seems that the output from UST10S is the one giving the actual authorization (as the testuser seems to have access to S_USR_AGR).
What can I do to have the PFCG listing the real/actual authorizations?
Thanks in advance
Kristof

Hi Kristof,
Don't let the wonder go away:-)) Check why that role was inconsistent at the first place.
1 - Check the role if its out of sync in Dev- Production as well. (Assuming you have already corrected this in Test sysh tem by creating new profiles).
2 - Check out the recent transports for that role. Check out the status of those transports(RC=0/RC=4/8/12). If not RC=0 then whats the error message.
3 - Check out if there was a system refresh recently carried out in your test environment. If yes then from which system this refresh is carried out. check out the role status in that system as well.
Run PFUD for User Master Data Reconciliation.Hope this will resolve the issues for all the roles in your system.

If you live in the UAE or another country where FaceTime is restricted by the government, you will not have FaceTime on your phone. This would also apply if the phone was bought in a country where the app is restricted. You cannot download it either.

Folders not visible in FTP

I've setup a number of Share Folders on the NSS 324 and I have FTP (TLS Explicit) setup and working, but two of the folders don't show up after all folders are listed. One of them being the Public folder.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

User does have read/write for those folders. They're still not showing up. Currently only have the one user setup (admin user) and that's what I'm logged in with.
I tried disabling read/write, saving, enabling read/write and saving again. Still the same.
Any other possibilities?
Thanks,
Mark

Sub Folders not Visible through File Shares

Hi there,
Have recently moved a company's data share over from a 10.4 box to a Leopard Server. I have setup Home drives for all the users - all groovy.
However I have set up the company share and copied all the folders in there. This is pretty straightforward - everyone wants access to everything. Simple...you'd think. So, I have assigned the LDAP group that all users are in Full Control of this folder (the share point) and hit Propagate permissions. However, certain folders remain inaccesible to them and one in particular is very weird - users can navigate to Share Name\Folder\sub folder but then cannot see the files and folders inside. The permissions on the folders inside are Everyone Read/Write and if I logon to the server itself as one of the affected users I can see the files locally in the share and can read/write to them. Anyone got any idea what could be going on please?
Cheers
Si

If i read this correctly you are going the other way but copying files from Windows XP to a Windows 7 machine will cause networking to drop out on the Win7 machine, you have to do some registry tweaks for the networking for it to not drop out. I've run into
that several times.
If that has nothing to do with your issue the only thing i can think of is an issue with your script causing it to delete or not successfully copy the files. I've used xcopy /dicey for lots of things without an issue though. Perhaps it is something with
your exclusions or symbolic links. Maybe drop the /v off and see if that makes a difference?

Mail Folders not visible?

I have created a new mail account (POP / BTInternet) which works fine. However when I select this account, there are no folders e.g. draft / sent / trash etc. I also have a gmail account where these folders appear okay. What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you are accessing your Gmail account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are available automatically with the email client used to access the account.
As already provided, when creating a POP account with the iPhone's mail client, the account's Drafts, Sent, and Trash mailboxes will not be created until the function is used by the account. Save a draft with the account, and the account's Drafts mailbox will be created. Send a message with the account and the account's Sent mailbox will be created, and the account's Trash mailbox won't be created until you select a message to be deleted.

All custom application folders not visible on nwds

Hi,
We are using NWDI and NWDS is used as IDE.
We have created a custom b2b application on NWDS,every step was successfull.
But now we are not able to see all the folders that should be there inside the custom application.
This application is running fine also and when we checked for its content on the j2ee server itself
all the folders were there.
Does anyone have any idea,whats going wrong and what's need to be done.Somebody told me about public/private but I am not clear on that.Is that can be a reason for this problem.How to resolve this.

I copied all the folder manually to NWDS and its working fine now.I dont now the reason why those folders were missing.
