My StoreBackup has been working flawlessly ever since I had all of the help
installing it from this group. However, when I tried to open a Thunderbird
mail folder that had been saved by StoreBackup, it will only display the
very last entry. :-(
How does one access the rest of the mail in a folder?
Thanks,
Godzilla

No idea how that specific mailfolder works. I use a program that just
reads my mbox type of mails.
So the first is that you need to figure out if it is mbox or not. What
you can do is to install mutt and then do `mutt -f mailfile`.
Isn't there an 'import' or such a thing?

The folders were in mbox format. I downloaded mutt and while I was at it
told YAST to download the printing adjunct for mutt. That took a LONG time,
because a number of other items had to be added and downloaded.
Once I got to the mail folder that I was looking for, after a few hiccups I
highlighted and read the one that I had been looking for. :-)
If you keep this up, Houghi, I will not owe you two beers anymore, but will
have to make it three beers. ;-)
Thanks again,
Godzilla

The printing what? If I would have a working printer, I would just press
'p' and it asks me if I want to print the letter.

OK, now that you have established that it works, it might be good to
look for reasons. So now somebody needs to answer the original question
as to how to get those into your program.
OTOH if you desire to keep using mutt, you could use
[url]http://houghi.org/script/00_More_Scripts/cm[/url] Also look at muttrc. And a
way to show all your differnt mailboxes (I use wmdrawer)
To search for mails, you can use grepš, which is a frontend to grepmail.
he HUGE advantage for me for mutt over any GUI based emailreader is that
I can ssh to my home and use the program I am used to.

When I had YAST search for mutt, it also showed muttprint for fancy
printing. Here is their description:
"Muttprint is a utility that formats the printing of Mutt and other mail
clients like XFMail or PINE to be like the printing of Netscape Messenger
or Kmail. It can print a little penguin on the first page and a headline on
every page. Furthermore, it only prints the most important headers, but not
the whole plethora of them. "
I had never heard of Bulmers, so I Googled and brought up their website.
It asked me if I was 18, and I said "no" so they would not let me in. ;-)

WTF is so special about that. Oh wait.

Man, I can not believe that I have lived without such a thing when I
want to print out a plain-text file.
