I added the LocalFolder add-on to a new installation of Thunderbird 24.4.0 running on Windows 7.

I can create new local folders but cannot copy emails into them.

If I create a folder and then restart Thunderbird (as suggested in the post from 2012 for Unbuntu and TB portable) I seems that I can copy emails, but I am not yet sure if this behaviour is consistent. Does anybody else experience these problems?

I also noticed that new local folders appear at two locations (with slightly different contents): one next to the original local folder at the location specified in the profile and one at the storage location which the add-on asked for during the creation process. Is this normal?

There is another thing: I cannot delete emails from the local folder.

I am also not sure how to connect an already existing folder and its contents to a new Thunderbold installation. Can anybody share a pointer on how to do that?

I believe that I am missing something important here as the other reviewers are full of praise ... what am I doing wrong?

If one of the successful users could share a step-by-step procedure this would be highly appreciated ...
