what are your opinion to avoid this? To make a automated backup before migrate from 2.0 -> 3.0? > This bug report is probably not very constructive but I am quite > pissed to have lost all those.

Is it really useful to have 2 different versions of Icedove in Debian? I think it would be more helpful to analyse your upgrade problem. BTW: 2.0.0.24 _is_ the last release of Thunderbird 2.0. Mozilla is short before a 3.1 release, which was scheduled for June. Cheers, Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
