>>@Harry Yes, I simply installed an older version of Thunderbird overwriting the newer one, then after sorting the folders, I updated it to v 60b11 (current) again. This works with portable Thunderbird also. I have two separate groups of mail accounts, one in portable TBird, the other installed. since TBird allows only one (open) instance, profile conflicts aren't a problem. (Unlike Firefox, which will corrupt your user profile if you forget to close one.)<<

Interesting!. I just copied the profile from 56, which is on my laptop, to 60, which is on my desktop. I got the accounts sorted correctly, but not the folders within the accounts, including within Local Folders.

You said not to have two versions of Thunderbird open at one time. Is that a problem even if they are on two different computers? I have had both of mine open at the same time frequently.
