Seemed like a good idea...Jasper wrote:If your restore from a recent backup didn't/doesn't work
So I restored a backup of my slackosave, made 12th Aug [2 days back], when Thunderbird was fully-functional.
This backup was made after the successful Thunderbird change explained in the post on 21st July.
But the restore failed to produce a fix.
I assume the problem is included in my Thunderbird profile that resides in /mnt/home/Mail [on the sda5 partition].
I suppose it therefore matters not which installation of Thunderbird is used.
If it works with that [now faulty?] profile, the problem will still be seen, until fixed.

My ISP [Virgin] reaches into my bank account each month and TAKE what they think they are due.
So my bill is ALWAYS paid.
And [unlimited?] technical assistance is included in the price.
But they DON'T work with Linux, only Windows.
So no help to be had there I expect.
3. Phoned the Virgin Tech Assistance.
He was beginning to help despite being told I was using Thunderbird within Puppy Linux.
But...
After he got me to download Support-LogMeinRescue.exe and run it using winefile...
And it failed to connect...
He told me he could send me to another number where they would charge for giving assistance.
How much would they charge I wonder?
Anyway, I told him to forget it.
He said they don't support Teamviewer, which I have installed and working.
