When I back up our Thunderbird email from our office computer to our laptop, all of our folders from our inbox get duplicated to our archives, or vice versa.

Question

When we back up our Thunderbird email from our office computer to our laptop so we can continue doing business when we are away from the office, most (if not all) of our folders get duplicated between our inbox and our archives, or vice versa, we're not sure which. All we know is that many of our folders are copied. We have 62 folders in our archive, and 74 in our inbox. After checking- it appears that our archived folders are being duplicated back in to our inbox.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
