[pchelpers] Re: mail folder / thunderbird

When I asked about the mail folder, no, I didn't have the other emails 
you had sent.
I do now.
So I have to direct outlook to my Profile in thunderbird, is that what 
you are telling me.

The page you sent gave this path:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application 
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile name>\

%APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile name>\


Well, I don't have %APPDATA% in my path.
When I try to import the mail settings, I get error messages trying to 
follow that path but having to make some adjustments as it is not the same.

AFter I click on profile name, my choices are: calendar, chrome, 
extensions, mail

If I click on mail, it has 4 things under there, my accounts, 2 with 
gmail, one with cox, and local folders
 

If I just click on the word mail, I get the error, unable to open the 
address file.
When I click ok on that, I get  the mail folder path could not be found.

If I do it again, and click on mail, then on local folders <which shows 
all my folders in Thunderbird email>.... and then click ok, it gives the 
same errors.

It sure is a pain to import mail from thunderbird!  Not easy at all.

(Btw, as I said recently, I compact folders regularly.)  But I don't 
regularly backup email and bookmarks.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
