Hello Roger,

Thank you for your Reply. Thunderbird will have to wait for now as I need an operating desktop box.

Right now I have boot problems with the box. I have 2 hard drives. SDA1 is booting ok at present. For historical reasons SDB8 should also be bootable but insists on going to rescue mode. Both appear in the grub menu. I have just completed a partial reinstall over the top for SDB8 but that did not fix the problem, I put grub onto SDA.

I am very suspicious that there is a motherboard fault as well. How do I go about checking/fixing that? I have already checked cable and memory cards are properly seated. They appear ok.

TIA,

Barry.

When you right click the account name in the left-most pane > Settings >
Server Settings, is the Local Directory set to the folder your profile

with the following path (one per account)

\Profiles\w92z88kc.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail.com
\Profiles\w92z88kc.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail-1.com

If not there is a browse button to point it to the correct place.

Another option: from the command line, run "thunderbird
--profilemanager" (note 2 hyphens there) where you can create (or delete
or rename) a profile, from where you can choose the folder containing
your existing folder.

Good luck - sorry I can't help in person.

Cheers,
Roger
