I had a disk crash on a Linux laptop and had to rebuild it from scratch. I have my entire home directory backed up, including the .thunderbird folder, and am now trying to use it by replacing that folder in my new installation with the back-up one as outlined in the instructions in the Thunderbird article about how to do this.
But after doing this, when I start Thunderbird, only the most recent IMAP download data comes up. None of the historical backed-up data is there.
Any advice you can offer will be appreciated.
