Hopefully the unsupported and old hand-held might prove to be one hook for this person. The clincher should (hopefully) be that their most recent emails are now on Thunderbird in Ubuntu and no longer on Thunderbird in Windows.
I had to abandon the idea of sharing unless i create a special ntfs specifically for sharing stuff between Windows and Ubuntu which would probably have been a good idea from the start of the whole 'migration'. Automounting the main Windows partition through fstab looks toooo dangerous. Of course i have installed grsync (very nice gui btw) and the last command-line action was to rsync the Ubuntu files to the Windows folder in Docs&Settings/user/ApplicationData/Thunderbird/Profiles to complete the job i think i should have also rsync'd it to Docs&Settings/user/LocalData/ApplicationData/Thunderbird/Profiles as well. <sarcastic>Obviously a much easier </sarcastic> pathname to reach than Ubuntu's /home/user/thunderbird (which is safely on a separate partition from the / Something else Windows is unlikely to ever manage) So all the person needs to do is press up arrow 1 time and then enter to back-up and get Windows up-to-date. I guess that next time i pop round i could set that up as a script but i haven't done any scripting before (not counting html, css & wiki's). It will be easier for me to do the shared partition route i would guess, at least for me. When i first started posting in this thread, even a few months ago i would have looked at this post in horror but learning is so easy with Ubuntu it is almost impossible to notice one's own rapid growth.
