@Nikola,
Yes, as part of my advice on my post above, it’s better to have an automatically mounted partition on start-up. Otherwise, you’ll need to mount it first before you open Thunderbird.
It’s glad to hear it works now.

thx for the feedback. I’ve got it fixed, and yes, your advise was part of the problem, but also the automatic mounting of the NTFS partition, where my Win Thunderbird mails were saved which for some reason I didn’t do it at the very beginning.

@Nikola,
Hi, sorry i was to busy with my work. I just try IMAP to check it.
It should be working too when you tick on â€œSelect this folder for offline useâ€ option on Inbox of your IMAP folder. Because if you not check it, it will erase whole of the file on the folder and you need to download again when you open it.

See my update on above post.

Is the above set up for the mailbox supposed to support both Win and Linux Thunderbird accounts using the same IMAP mail folders? Cause if so, it doesn’t work for me for some reason, i.e. I have downloaded the IMAP folders messages completely (with bodies, not headers only), so now when I created the Linux Thunderbird using the same IMAP mail account and the same folders path, the Linux account is downloading the messages again which means it is not using the same folders downloaded in Windows.
Can you please assist?

thanks
