Two questions about restoring Thunderbird from a backup
- by Eric
Setting up a new Windows 7 PC, I'm puzzled by two things in Thunderbird 3.1.9:
I restored a profile from a three-month old backup, no problem. I then copied
more recent files into the Mail/ directory, but TBird still shows the old messages.
The last message in Inbox is dated 3/16/2011 -- how do I get TBird to display all the
messages in the Local Folders/Inbox view?
A large number of the existing messages are now displayed in separate tabs -- I can't
tell you how many, but there could be over 1000. Which file governs this? Or can I
hire someone from Mechanical Turk to come over and manually close each tab?
