My previous posting regarding mounting the newly installed hard drive was helped quite a lot with the advice I read here ... thank you very much. There's a superb way of finding out all about an unknown drivge, and that's "sudo cfdisk /dev/hdd" whereupon it told me the names of all the drive's partitions, there file types, etc. So now I have three hard drives on the system, all working, more or less. More about cleaning them up later.
This email is about Mozilla-thunderbird. I was startled to find that the Mozilla that Debian installed on my 'puter had no email client, so I searched around a little, found out that Thunderbird is preferred by a plurality of users, and so I used apt-get to retrieve it and install it from the debian.org server. Went in very smoothly, and in less than five minutes I had configured it and downloaded 150 messages from my SpamCop.net popmail server. Then a couple of problems surfaced: 1. The menu items highlight to white on white. 2. The second time I opened Thunderbird, it was empty, and the Install Wizard wanted all my data all over again. 150 messages vanished ... but it had let me do the setup all by myself without a peep of complaint. 3. I looked up on the Mozilla-Thunderbird website to find out where my Inbox is stored (ostensibly so I can back it up) but the instructions bear no resemblance whatsoever to the menus and organization of _my_ Thunderbird install. 4. There's a connection between (1) and (2) of course. Where _is_ my Inbox now ? Thanks, George Langford -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
