[opensuse] Thunderbird config and content file: openSUSE vs Ubuntu
Hi all, It appears that while under openSUSE the Thunderbird's files go into $HOME/.thunderbird in Ubuntu the are stored in $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird . Not only that but the content appears somehow different - linking or copying content to the correct folder does not work. So, does anybody have any idea what all of this is about? What I am trying to accomplish is manage things in such a way as to allow users to use Thunderbird the same way whether they log into their account from a SUSE machine or an Ubuntu one. Thanks in advance for any insight into this mess. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try linking from one directory name to the other. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ubuntu automatically creates a link (~.mozilla-thunderbird) to the actual /.thunderbird directory.

Well, actually it didn't for me... but I will try to manually recreate what you are talking about. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
