Importing Thunderbird(Windows) to Thunderbird(Linux)
Been using Thunderbird for years on XP and I want to import the mail, addy book etc into the Linux version. I have made a backup of the local folders (windows), but I can't find the corrosponding ones on Linux. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The folders you're looking for should be somewhere in ~/.thunderbird. I'm not sure if it's advisable to use profiles across operating systems, I think I read somewhere in Mozillazine's Knowledge Base that that isn't a good idea, but I could be wrong.

Thanks Nylex. The problem is, I can't find the ./thunderbird folder!!
|
Run "ls -a" in your home directory. Which directories show up?
|
is ~/.mozilla-thunderbird there?
|
yes its /.mozilla-thunderbird, you may have to view hidden folders.

May as well continue the thread. I can't find how to increase the font size in Thunderbird. I can increase the font size of the messages by ctrl-+ but not the overall font size for the rest of Thunderbird. Any clues?
jdwilder, I have no problems with the messages etc I have copied over from Windows. Works just like the Windows version. |
