Greetings all,
I've been lurking as a casual reader since being kindly - and successfully - helped with icon and desktop clock problems (now history, touch wood) a few months ago. However, I have a brand-new self-inflicted difficulty. I'm hoping someone will say it's just that I've forgotten to click something or other. I enjoyed using Thunderbird for email. However, ISP "improvements" - confirmed by their "help" line - meant I could no longer send emails using Thunderbird and only receive them. I therefore switched to Eudora. [I know it's no longer updated but the latest version available for download worked fine.] Meanwhile, my ISP has sorted out the glitch and I decided to revert to Thunderbird. Version 3.0.3 downloaded and installed with the efficiency expected of Mozilla products. I opted to import all folders from Eudora. Thunderbird did this successfully, so it said, and I've no reason to doubt this.
But here's the problem: the "inbox" and "sent" folders display messages from when I formerly had Thunderbird and, while I don't mind having these (even though I wonder where they've been kept while Thunderbird was uninstalled), my "inbox" and "sent" folders don't contain any of the newly imported stuff. Where's it gone? How do I get it back? I clicked on "Archive" but that didn't do it. I can't go back to Eudora, by the way, because I uninstalled it after Thunderbird said it had successfully imported all folders. I don't really need the "inbox" or "sent" folders but having the address book from Eudora would be useful.
Any help will be much appreciated.
