My ~/.thunderbird/* seems to have all my email, account information and the pref.js file. Any idea what I must do to get all my email back? Thanks, Hareesh Looking at the screenshot, what's weird is that T-bird seems to be working. The window is drawn, the menus and buttons are displayed... the program appears to be running just fine (also implied by the absence of errors). The only thing that's really missing is the contents of the panes. And that suggests a font problem (i.e., the font or fonts to be used for the text displayed in the folder, message and preview panes is not found, thus that text cannot be displayed). Since your menus and buttons (the application window elements) are displaying properly, can you successfully get to Edit=Preferences=Fonts and change the display fonts to a font that you are sure that you have and see if there is some improvement? I think this is where the pane display fonts are controlled (the window element fonts are controlled by your Window Manager). HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks, Hareesh Looking at your screenshot, it shows a little box that looks like a folder at the right hand corner of the pane where your folder listing should be. What does clicking on that do? I've had a similar problem before seems like I had to click on that folder and then remove some ? marks. -- Kathy Wills + + Genealogy Web Site: http://www.brannanorwills.com + + + + -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What does clicking on that do? Nothing! What I did was: 0. I renamed my old 'default' tbird directory to something arbitrary 1. I ran tbird, which then created a new 'default' directory. 2. Added my account information again 3. Copied my email from my old tbird directory to the new one 4. Copied my addressbook info. After 80 minutes of doing this junk (and a number of other things!), I am back to using my email client. Hareesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
