stormdogDamn. I'm setting up Thunderbird on a new computer. I copied all of my local folders over to the new machine and pointed Thunderbird at them, but it doesn't see all of them. All the subfolders are named x.sbd, but it will only show one of the several folders under local folders.
If I repoint the local folders account at one of the subfolders that doesn't show up, then reboot Thunderbird, I can see it, and all of it's subfolders, just fine. But when I point it at the top level folder again, they're gone again.
And I think it may have something to do with having moved something the wrong way, because it's doing it on my old machine too. Any ideas?
I also seem to have lost the last month's worth of entered data in Quicken. Ugh.
--------
Ok, I just renamed the folders by truncating the .sbd from them. Rebooted Thunderbird and they all show up. I don't know why that worked, but I don't care. Whee.
-------
But now their subfolders are messed up. I can't just truncate the .sbd from them because there are already extensionless files in the parent directories. Buggerall.
