Thunderbird
Just a very quick follow up on restoring a back up of Thunderbird in Ubuntu which I mentioned in my last post.
I got it to work last night (although not perfectly as it would seem I hadn’t fully backed it up).
I was just trying to copy the .mozilla-thinderbird folder into my home/$username$ directory. The problem is that the folder bellow that one has a random string as it’s name. Naturally, when I reinstalled Thunderbird, it generated a new string and folder with this string name in it so it completely ignored by old files.
Solution? Just drill down one more level and copy those files over.
(… and thanks to MB for the pointer)

I use Thunderbird every day, and every day I have this song in my head.

And I love that you took the time to share that! Don’t comments just fill you with joy. It’s the problem with RSS feeds – I never leave comments on something I’ve read off a RSS feed.

I use Thunderbird software that is. The other stuff is quite lethal.
