Does Local Folder Add-on work correctly? #82

Hi, I have installed the Add-on into TB 115.8.1 and tested it. I created a folder on a secondary partition and transferred a bunch of email folders into that new folder. Emails were transferred but all subfolders were not. What's more, those subfolders were deleted from the source, wiping out several years of data. Also, the transferred folders did not appear in the newly created folder on the secondary partition but are still located in the profile folder in C. Is that normal?

@esebm I am very sorry for what sounds like data loss. I want to understand what happened better.

First, after you say you created the local folder, describe exactly how you did transfers? Once a local folder is created, LocalFolders is out of the picture. Any copies or moves are done by Thunderbird. The source should not be altered except for moves. Can you reproduce the errors? @cleidigh
