Migrating Local Folders from Thunderbird

Determine if you have local folders

The first step you will need to take is to determine if you are currently using any local folders with Thunderbird.  In the screenshot below, if you have mailboxes folders under Local Folders, then you have local folders that will need to be moved up to your email account.
