Back to Windows...

[Wei-Yee Chan]

I advised U to check your Thunderbird mail directory and file
permissions.  Have U done that?  If U don't know how to, then ask.  I
did not receive any feedback from U at all in your previous thread.  

There's nothing wrong with Linux if U can't read the files U don't have
permissions to - That's exactly how Linux is supposed to function.

There's always a price for most things.  I paid the "price" and earned
the ability to install Linux on any number of machines I desire, without
having to worry about licence fees.  If U feel that this "price" is too
much for U to bear, well fine, go back to Windoze.

Do not expect Linux to function just like Windoze.  It's erroneous to
say that Linux distros have a long way to go before they can compete
with Windoze.  Let me assure U that the fact is, U still have a long way
to go before U know how Linux works.
