Do not edit. *inbound.att.net geleem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx k AFm/imIAAc7mVZnAUgsAaAaAK/M 1436139771 k AJG/imIAABRjVZmJUAIygF2hc2w 1436130430 the last 2 lines shown are the records of the emails downloaded. the value after the lone "k" is know as the "X-UIDL:" and is in the first few lines of an email header. to re-download emails, 1st, put thunderbird in 'offline' state, then close thunderbird, open a file browser to the email account directory, make a backup copy of the file "popstate.dat". next, open "popstate.dat" file with a _plain_text_ editor, remove all of the "X-UIDL:" lines, save file. reopen thunderbird, open "Account Settings", disable *all* email accounts except for gmail account. highlight gmail account, enable online state, click "Get Mail" icon, all your gmail emails should download. if above does not happen, it is because gmail is preventing it. after downloading emails, re-enable all email accounts. you can manually remove dupes, or you can then install an add-on to thunderbird to remove dupes. there are 2 to chose from. which ever churns you butter better. ;-) hth. -- peace out. -+- If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... ...oh, wait.
