[ubuntu-za] Thunderbirdv12.01 Backup and Restore between 10.04 & mint12?

[Rob Watt]

Just an idea...

Why don't you link your existing email account with Google, then use Gmail
as your mail client?

Chrome has an Offline Gmail extension available, so you can search, read,
type mails while not online and when you go online it sends/recieves. You
can have all the features of Thunderbird without the issue you're currently
experiencing.
