My server crashed recently. I've restored the files but not the server. I had an IMAP server on this machine, and I connected it to it from a few different computers, always with Thunderbird. After the server crashed, I moved to a mail host instead of running it myself. I can connect to that host fine, but on this desktop (FC5 and Thunderbird via yum, i.e., 1.5.0.9), when I changed my account settings to point it to the new host, I lost all my existing mail in Thunderbird. I had backed up before hand, and I have a couple other computers with Thunderbird that still have all the local files representing the local copies of the IMAP inbox & other folders. There has to be a way to tell Thunderbird just to read the local files, from the backup copy, or otherwise read my saved mail from those saved copies, right? I can't figure it out. Thanks, Matt
