After no one replied, I figured either no one ever did this or it must |
17 |
be really simple and easy. I took the plunge and started up |
18 |
Thunderbird. The first thing that loaded up was a question on if I'd |
19 |
like to import my old Seamonkey emails. I answered Yes and it did its |
20 |
thing. Given the huge number of emails I have going back over a decade, |
21 |
it took a while. |

I will add this for future reference. Before asking it to download new |
24 |
messages from your email provider, click through each and every folder |
25 |
and make sure the messages show up in the listing. I didn't do that at |
26 |
first and when it checked in and tried to download the new messages, it |
27 |
gave a error and left it in the default folder. Also, when you do that, |
28 |
expect some messages to be marked as unread. I just right clicked the |
29 |
folder and told it to mark all as read, since I already have. I'm not |
30 |
sure but I think it may do that on messages that were deleted and were |
31 |
downloaded again or something. It could be something else tho. I don't |
32 |
generally delete messages. |

I would think this would work the same on any Linux distro. May even |
35 |
work on windows as well. |

Now to figure out how to tell Thunderbird to open links in Firefox and |
38 |
which profile as well. It wants to open in Seamonkey and picks a |
39 |
profile that is already open which gives the usual error about it being |
40 |
in use. Hmmmmm. |
