This can be handy to know where someone is setting up a dual boot and
already has Thunderbird set up in windows. Simply copy the prefs.js
file from the windows profile to the linux thunderbird profile
(/home/user/.thunderbird/ProfileFolder), and edit all references
containing a windows path to the stores, to reflect the linux path to
the windows stores. Finally delete any lines that contain [PrefsD] -
these will be automatically re-created when starting thunderbird.
A simple "mv abook.mab abook.old" followed by "ln -s
/path/to/windows/profile/abook.mab" (you need to be in
~/.thunderbird/ProfileFolder) gives you a shared address book too.
Thanks for extending our Thunderbird howto, Roger.
Wouldn't you know it, Mozilla suite retains a right to exist, now titled
SeaMonkey.
Don't think I'll be getting submerged with it again though - Thunderbird
soars higher with every update. The spell-checker is simply fantastic!
