I am asking this here, as my system is F20 with Thunderbird 24.7.0.
I have downloaded an month's archived messages for Centos-arm and
want to import them into Thunderbird where I could then respond to
them more easily.
I tried the Tools>Import but when I select email, nothing is listed
in the dialog box. So how might I do the import? Where might i find
instructions?
Where did you fetch them from?
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/
When form are they in?
Good question. It looks like mbox.
For myself, the easiest way to import lots of messages is for them to
be in UNIX mbox format (normal UNIX flat file containing messages
separated by "From " lines); that is what Thurderbird uses.
Shout down Thunderbird. Move ("mv -i", to avoid accidents) the mbox
into your Thunderbird Local Folders directory with a sensible name.
Start Thunderbird. Your should have a new local folder, with which
you can do as you like.
I will give that a try.
