There must be a way to save/export/import Thunderbirds email files
when going from F-11 to F-12! I have never been able to do this
despite suggestions to simply move the Thunderbirds "Mail" files.
Every six months or so I lose all the mail when I upgrade Fedora and
reinstall Thunderbirds,
I usually have two Fedora computers as is the case now. I would like
to move the mail from the F-11 box to the new F-12 installation on a
second computer. The Thunderbirds mail import function looks for
something in "Communicator 4x" or some such thing but is very
inflexible. "Communicator 4x" doesn't exist on any of my computers!
Is there a known working procedure to accomplish this. I routinely
transfer files between them via sftp and nfs. But those mail files
defy all my attempts.
Any help appreciated.
Bob
Hi Bob,
I copy the .thunderbird folder from my home directory (& the .mozilla
for Firefox )to carry my settings from one machine/installation to
another. It's worked fine for a couple of years now.
Hope that helps
Dave
