It's still a little bit "experimental", but it's there: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Maildir https://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/to-activate-maildir-in-thunder= bird/ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D58308 To do it, you'd set the user preference mail.serverDefaultStoreContractID to "@mozilla.org/msgstore/maildirstore;1" =20 If you do this, your mail will end up in nested maildirs under: ~/.thunderbird/ImapMail/$SERVERNAME/ YMMV as to the reliability of thunderbird with this setup. I've had some problems with it, but i tend to think those problems are more likely due to my trying to interface with a janky MS Exchange server's IMAP implementation (i haven't tried to debug against a more sane IMAP implementation). The other approach is to set up a local IMAP server like dovecot that stores mail in maildir form, and just have thunderbird talk to it directly. --dkg --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJVg1l3XxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQjk2OTEyODdBN0FEREUzNzU3RDkxMUVB NTI0MDFCMTFCRkRGQTVDAAoJEKUkAbEb/fpcK2IQAOfPjkKyGrh8ZGGdc6XEOT71 R8lOSTyKmFTXzveDAZ0Qy4N/jP2HrlVSqEFVjp83Tmj2YxJ3fD/ykhtThRw+dxtM lPlgrscFRP48qIXWftm25wxzO/PagY07oEpha3JSJpz/cptD+n+Ge1zHeC5jYO9W jDYnrIvJ+nurtRzKy9b9bQotfOpvEJBGVmWculW2m0q94VUiT09erI3QtibuGfbd Q4zb6SM99uIUQW+oT5kv68MnV9d39HqW5qIpib4QdjgMVeblfykY7DkfxlMauM0m genVZaT78nuc1XAI5jCceIrOVQETp13KurXOCFszY143V8z01byfgHWVrY4DRKV5 qEAI4faWvo0nIDJoB2WjxwWTqft18I9rVBho7Q1tARxo8V8xiElE52mfWje86qK6 asXUqCwe1ths572scXID9e+1dsY+SfqqHxbV0Iu1sca+bN+hm45HQrrE31QNLEvm nRtV6jW0jSn2nX0LvFmeeN+g2j5JImY1JbJ4jnLSSypOerAXGaF/fIIaH8wFS7ya +TAcZVu2HQ6qtPggTqnoWXxYdELUf1iSUr4v/Jh48z2805DkDKgRUKJY1IjBFPvK 5I6wHIUojwZ6iqIZEWLjF2ZmZMbI11/TTLJcThXJm22hwlLiyIWvty7lBG/LTKUl TJKZJi+lUvt78veII6cQ =xwb+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
