Hello
I have just installed Ubuntu on another drive and everything is fine.
However I am using Thunderbird on both sides and from the Winxp side I did a backup of the Email folders using MozBackup-1.4.8-EN.
I was hoping that once I did a backup from the Windows side I could Import the backup from the Ubuntu 804 OS.
It didn't work!
My MAIN Profile or Archive name in Thunderbird Winxp was Bellsouth.
Has any one just moved the files from one location to the other using terminal or just copy/paste from the file browser?
Are there any suggestions or setup precautions you would recommend?
Source Winxp:
/media/WIN_XP/Documents and Settings/KJ/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/d9er6ghs.default/Mail/Local Folders/Outlook Mail.sbd/Bellsouth.sbd
Possible - target Ubuntu:
/home/kevin/.mozilla-thunderbird/fvm4nr8v.default/Mail/Local Folders
Thank you all for your time adn help!
