Hi,
Before I do this though, there are so far two items I need to figure out, with your help: 1. The restoration of my email address book I would like to know what filename to look for on my backup that contains the Thunderbird email address book so that I can import this file from the backup into the new Thunderbird?
IIRC address books are stored in abook-<n>.mab files in .thunderbird/<profile>
2. The restoration of message filter rules for incoming email as I have overr 200 different email folders and corresponding message rules. I generally receive a lot of email and have therefore setup mailfilters on Thunderbird to sort the email into its respective mail folder as it arrives in my Inbox. Can I copy this file in .thunderbird on my backup to the new .thunderbird and what is it called?
this is a little more tricky... the file is called msgFilterRules.dat and there will be one for each mail folder under .thunderbird/<profile>/Mail/ and .thunderbird/<profile>/ImapMail There is a faint possibility it may not migrate well for some configuration changes and you may have to manually edit the file....the rule structure is pretty simple so it should not be a major problem if this is required.... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
