Hi Jean-Pierre,
I tried your suggestion by creating links only
to the folders, but not to the msf files. Those
files are native Linux files.
After firing up thunder bird, it took it a while to
re-build the mail summary file for Inbox.
I clicked "Get Mail", entered my password, and 2 messages
came in. I click on them, and still the same problem.
The messages are empty!
Looking at the Inbox via an editor, and the
message looks just fine. So, I really don't
know now why t-bird is screwing up! I opened
a bug in mozilla against thunderbird: Bug 428147
Maybe someone there will attempt what I am doing
and find the problem and fix it.
Cheers,
JD

Hi all,
On my FC7-x86_64, I have these ntfs rpms:
$ rpm -qa | egrep 'fuse|ntfs'
ntfs-3g-1.1120-1.fc7
ntfsprogs-1.13.1-8.fc7
fuse-kmdl-2.6.23.15-80.fc7-2.7.3-8_9.fc7
fuse-libs-2.7.3-8_9.fc7
ntfsprogs-gnomevfs-1.13.1-8.fc7
Primarily, what I have been using ntfs-3g for is
to mount my /dev/sda1 (which is winXP Pro) and then
I have created a symlink in my home directory:
/home/jd/.thunderbird -> /sda1/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/Application Data/Thunderbird/
So, with /dev/sda1 mounted, I have been firing up thunderbird and have
experienced no problems, until I updated to the release prior to
the current one and the one before it, and even the current release.
The problem I am havings is this: Thunderbird starts downloading my messages
and after download, I click on the new messages, and they are either empty
or
point to a fragment of some other old message. When the new message contains
such a fragment, it is ALWAYS the same fragment.
Have you done a chkdsk ?
Have you deleted your mail index file (Inbox.something)
to force it to be rebuilt properly ?
Have you always used the same Thunderbird version in Linux
and Windows ?
Also, I noticed something new, when I decided to edit (using vim)
my Inbox. I noticed that the new messages being downloaded
no longer have a ^M (carriage return) at end of line.
Mybe my observation is not valid, but the older messages
all DO have a carriage return at EOL.
I use a symbolic link to direct messages collected in Linux
to the same files as collected in Windows, but I do not
redirect index files, they are likely to lead to problems
when either version is updated. And I do get different line
endings according to the system used to collect messages.
Also I had rather not have my application data in the Windows
system partition, which I always mount read only, but that is
another story.
I have forgotten the release number that was working.
It was at least 2 releases before current shown above.
