Local folders?

Can I create Local mail folders in the folder structure of Vivaldi?

Hi and no, not at moment.
If you use IMAP all folders created on the mail server are imported to the mail client.Cheers, mib

Thanks for the quick reply.
I suppose I can manually move .eml files to archive folder somewhere, correct?

@drdaveradio
No idea what you want to do but if I move a .eml file from Vivaldi it gets simply refetched.Cheers, mib

Thanks again.
I have a huge archive store that I would like to bring from Thunderbird. My IMAP account is not large enough to store it on line.

It is possible to File > import from a folder but may be Vivaldi M3 expolde then, hehe.
Some user import tens of thousands mails from Opera mail client and iirc it use also .eml files.Cheers, mib

@drdaveradio Vivaldi does not (yet?) contain import from Thunderbird, just from Opera 12 M2. Now, M2 did support import from thunderbird but has not been updated since 8 years. So with some luck you might be able to import Thunderbird Mails to Opera 12, and then import those mails to Vivaldi into an offline account. I haven't tried this little detour
Note that an "archive" folder does not exist in Vivaldi, as the only folders that Vivaldi knows are IMAP folders.
Opera 12 can be downloaded here
Windows: https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/win/1218/
or Linux: https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/linux/1216/ -
I have created the corresponding feature request (as I think that it did not exist before): https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/66614/local-accounts

I've upvoted it but this kind of feature has definitely been (informally) requested before since I've gone on about it several times - even before they released the mail tech preview.
I want to automatically move older messages from an online IMAP account to local offline storage as this has been my modus operandi for three decades already... one primary desktop PC which does the archiving (and backups), while my phone, various laptops and webmail services can still access a couple of months of recent mail.
