I've been using TB for over 15 years now, and in that whole time Local Folders has been 100% useless for me. Just visual clutter. I even created an addon to hide it permanently, which got fairly popular and existed until they changed the plugin architecture a few years back. Once the addon broke, someone else created a working alternative almost immediately.
I understand why Local Folders exists, but never once in 15 years have I actually used it. It's about time they created a native option to hide it, and that's coming from an old fogy!
- abdullahkhalids 4y agoI have used Local Folders when my past workplace was removing my email account, so I copied all of those folders to my Local Folders. So I am glad they exist, but I am also happy that they can be hidden for those who don't need them.
- mr_machine 4y agoLocal folders are occasionally useful and I'm glad Thunderbird supports them. User experience could have been improved by simply not creating them by default. Then they'd not confuse or annoy anyone, and should the need ever arise, the user could add them.
