I don't know Thunderbird, but probably one can create a mail account backed by "Unix Mailspool" or however Thunderbird calls this. That would simplify my problem if such a thing is possible.
In the list of accounts, go to "Local files", right click and select "import export tools". Select "import mbox file". When the dialogue box come up navigate to /usr/spool/mail and select your mbox there. Now, if you are fetching your email from your ISP via POP or IMAP and have that set up with Thunderbird all you mail is under you control with no need for qpopper, dovecot or sendmail/postfix or fetchmail or procmail. If, for some reason, the system was delivering to ~/Mail or ~/Mail/INBOX you can set up that as well. Thunderbird is quite flexible. You just have to configure it. This was all discovered just by walking the menus without needing to make use of Mozilla's help facilities or googling to see how other people have done it. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
