Retrieving mail
 

as some may know my f1 has hit a skid. now i have got off most of what i want, but my main issue is the emails that are saved on the drive. is there an easy way of saving them and tried a solution i found on the mozilla forum but can't seem to get it to work? i can run t-bird from the drive through explorer but it only shows the mails that are on my back-up drive that i'm using.

would really like to save these before wiping and and installing a dual boot option.

Mmmm, sorry I don't know, maybe an expensive lesson ( to late ) but I always forward any important emails onto gmail for this exact reason.

normally i get t-bird to leave messages on the server until i no longer need them, only my inbox was becoming a bit full so started to have a tidy up and thus no longer have them..............d'oh

cheers for that link Dai didn't see while searching. so had a read and tried it to the letter. didn't work and now can't seem to get the default profile working....and now t-bird is playing up.

no real great shakes, i'll live on and will just wipe and dual boot xp and linux. yep i'm gonna give it a go.
