I've hoiked the drive out and plugged it into this, my lovely Linux Mint machine, as a USB drive to recover data I failed to back up. I've got several months of emails and attachments in Thunderbird on that old machine, and I'm just wondering if there's a fairly simple way to copy them over.
I think I've found the relevant data in
Code: Select all
/media/john/WINDOWS/Users/John/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/qbbrju5y.default/Mail/pop.tiscali.co.uk
Ideally, if I could merge these (in fact, just the Inbox and Sent emails) with the Inbox here in Linux, that would be great, or is there any other way to just peek at them or use them as another profile? I'd rather not mess too much in case I break something, since there's nothing absolutely critical in there - it would just give me a more complete picture of stuff over the last few months that are missing. I switched to the Win7 machine for some work I had to do. I've got all my contacts on here that matter.
Thanks
John
