In another thread I asked about bringing mail (stored in Mozilla-style
profiles) into IceDove, and now what seemed like an open-and-shut process has
gotten more complicated.
First, the /home directory on my old debian hard drive has me in it, but
there's no Mail folder there ... but that hard drive has old mail stored all
over the place, because I backed it up to those places. Same for my NAS.
One way is for me to copy & paste these old mail files (which I _have_
learned to recognize by their companion .snm, .msf, or .sbd files) into the
corresponding places in my IceDove installation alomgside similar files (but
with different names, of course). I've also learned not to bring along the
dot*** files ...
Another way would be for me to let IceDove ferret them out ... but I'm not
sure that IceDove is allowed (or even can) do that any more like
Netscape/Mozilla used to do. Does the MoveMail function do that ?
