How to make a copy of the sent IMAP messages when the sent folder file cannot be found?

My Thunderbird works fine. I also see messages in the "sent" folder but I wonder are only registered in the IMAP server messages. For the backup application, I would like to copy the file from the "sent" folder but I can't find a local file for this.

In home/me/.thunderbird/44g5fxvp.default/ImapMail/mail. .fi [mymail] I have files
Archives - 1.sbd
Archives.MSF
Deleted messages
Messages.MSF deleted
Drafts.MSF
INBOX
INBOX.msf
inbox_old
inbox_old. MSF
msgFilterRules.dat
Sent.MSF
Templates.MSF
Trash.MSF
Trash.SBD

IE Sent.msf exists but is not named file sent. I am looking for a bad place? My Thunderbird settings or preferences are wrong? Is there something obvious that I missed?

What is the most convenient way to make a local copy of the sent messages folder if Thunderbird does not have a local copy of it?

Subscribed IMAP folders accounts configured to synchronize and place a copy of the folder on the server in the profile of mail, but this issue is constantly updated to match the server, so if you have new messages then these changes are made to the server folder and the folder on your computer is updated to match the server folder. Or if you delete mail from your copy then it will update the server. Then synchronized files are constantly changed and updated.
Moving while copy/move, it stops the activity on files synchronized and enables offline that get you a copy to anywhere else you want.
Less chance of something going wrong.
then go back to online mode.

I knew that some people have problems with copy/move emails in online mode that are offline.

Easy way to go 'offline and online.
To go offline:
Click 2 bluescreen icon located in the bottom left of the status bar.

To go online again:
Click 2 screen black icon located in the bottom left of the status bar.
