you are right about the list....Can I ask a question?? If you make a fresh installation, you are requested to set an account, that is done even if you have copied back your backup folders ..and Restore of backup is done after you have set an account: what am I missing??? is it correct??? Thunderbird has a different behaviour, if you copied back folders you are not asked to set up an account. -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : amontag52 Linux Fedora 16 Verne
