It is possible things were done differently. My specific situation was that if folders were created in Tbird under linux in the shared mail folder then they were accessible in Tbird under both environments, but if the folders were created in Tbird under windows in the shared mail folder, Tbird under linux listed the folders in its folder list, but when you clicked on them to display the contents Tbird complained it couldn't find them, also message filters couldn't move message from the inbox to the folders for the same reason. To work around it I had to go into something like dolphin, rename the folders, recreated to original named folders in linux, then copy the contents back. I learnt very quickly to only create folders in Linux. We are going to have to same issue in the development environment at work where we are moving from windows based servers to Linux based servers.On 02/04/2013 03:10 PM, Stephen Morris wrote:Copying over profiles and mail folders etc from windows to linux won't work as is. When folders are created in Tbird it records them in the case specified at creation time, and looks for them accordingly, but behind the scenes windows creates them in a completely different case.Perhaps it's a one-way street. I've done this many times. It's possible that I originally created my first TBird install in Linux, and copied that profile over to my Windows box, thus preserving the Linux case usage. That would explain the fact that copying back from Windows to Linux works for me - it's the only thing that comes to mind to explain our different experiences - as I've said a couple of times in this thread, I've done this many times and it has always worked for me.
