How to set Local Directory #63

Closed LilyHiggins closed 1 year ago

LilyHiggins commented 2 years ago

I am trying to create a new local folder using the LocalFolders add on in Thunderbird. How do you enter or choose a local directory to set up the folder?

Thanks!

@LilyHiggins A local folder is considered an account so new local folders are added under the Account Settings tab. The Account actions drop down will have a new entry "Add local folder" which will open the configuration dialog. @cleidigh

Thanks! Yes, but how do I know what directory to choose to put there? I tried C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXX\Mail\Local Folders but that didn't work. I wasn't sure what "Local Directory" I'd use to create a new local folder. Thanks for the help.

@LilyHiggins The directory you choose is almost arbitrary. The standard LF under TB is in the AppData dir. I like to put my additional LFs in a directory that is outside that and safe, backed up etc. It can even be a NAS location. Cheers @cleidigh

Great - thanks so much. So can it even be a file that I create just for that storage like C:\Users\XXX\Documents\TBArchive or something like that? Thanks again!

@LilyHiggins Exactly! ...btw reviews always welcome ;-) @cleidigh

@LilyHiggins Hopefully you got things working? If so I think we can close? @cleidigh

LilyHiggins commented 1 year ago

Yes, thanks! I haven't had too much time to play around with the Local Folders, but yes, I think we can close. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I'll repost a question if I have another. Thanks!
