Hi Thanks
something worked but I am not sure its a reliable method. First I reinstalled mozilla mail , then I made the different accounts (but was offline) , after all the settings I copied back from the back up folders the specific files like pop.gmail-1.com to exactly where a similar one for the same account was , I restarted the email client and it was there. And I had to do this for each and every account and feature that I had used - for password managers, address books, filters etc. I all worked in the end but I don't think it was an efficient way, though I learnt some along the way. However , if a new version is being installed - then it picks up the the exiting data pretty easily. Thanks and my infinitesmal wisdom just grew a bit ;) ram Raj shekhar wrote: > in infinite wisdom Ramnarayan.K spoke thus on 07/05/05 11:55: > >> What steps should I follow to ensure that all the data can be imported >> accurately and safely.
