   Returning to my Thunderbird problem. remember that it works almost   
   completely on the Desktop, including Local Folders. But on the laptop, I   
   cannot get the Local Folders to work. I shut down TB, then copy the   
   Local Folders files from the backup into the correct folder in the   
   working TB profile's folders, but they don't appear.   
      
   I was wondering whether to:   
      
   1. Create a new fresh profile, as there are some extra files and   
   remnants of old profiles floating around.   
   Or:   
      
   2.a. Purge Thunderbird, to get rid of anything that is incorrect.   
   Google seems happy to restore my .gmail accounts.   
   2.b. Reinstall TB from scratch.  Use snap?   
      
   I have also found that my backed-up Local Folder files are not complete,   
   which puzzles me. They were done nightly using an rsync script. What's   
   gone is gone.   
   But I have some .msf files, which appear to contain loads of messages. I   
   need to see if I can convert them into individual messages again.   
      
   Any help welcome.
