Go to the View menu and you'll see the option "Show hidden files".
The below is the folder location for my emails /home/williamkow/.thunderbird/kkm2p3j4.default/Mail/Local Folders/
But I can not find it using Konqueror. please advise. Thank you.
My advice is to type in "/home/williamkow/.thunderbird" by hand into the address input box. If you decide to show hidden files in your home directory you will see ~100 hidden directories and files and you will not be able to find the .thunderbird fast enough. So, it is much better to leave the home directory with the hidden files hidden and when you do need to go to some of those hidden directories to type it into url by hand.

Thank you and sorry, I not get use to KDE, and I thought of the setting for display hidden files are in the drop-down menu "Settings" or "Tools", but it is in "View". As you suggested to allow hidden files settings, is true also to avoid confusion due to too many files. BUT, I still have a problem, where I have a folder wish to copy to the a hidden folder, and then I right-click the folder, and select "Copy To" > "Browse", then a pop-up (Select Folder-Konqueror) is displayed, and I key-in the full path (example, /home/williamkow/.thunderbird/kkm2p3j4.default/Mail/Local Folders) at the bottom and click "OK", but system will not copy the folder. Why is that so ? Please advise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Copy-To only works for copying to the directories that are listed in the menu that pops up, if I am not mistaken. The problem is that the pop-up menu does not show hidden directories. What I do in this case is simply right-click/copy (or Ctrl+c) and then browse to the target directory and right-click/paste (or menu Edit/Paste, if there is no empty space in the directory window). -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

???? It's very easy to enable viewing hidden files in Konqueror and then turn that off again if you wish. I do that all the time. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
