[QUOTE="markvanh, post: 965443, member: 33293"] Thanks guys, all bettter now. [url=http://www.stephenchu.com/2007/01/migrate-thunderbird-mailboxes-from.html]STEPHEN CHU . com: Migrate Thunderbird mailboxes from Windows to Mac[/url] This was the article that got me to migrate across OSs. Tbird is one mail app that files in universal format and works on 3 OSs, Mac, Linux and the other. EasyFind removed some files on the first quick use, but left a Tbird folder in profiles... but after deleted those it did fully uninstall and re-install cleanly, opened & ran fine. This time I deleted the CONTENTS of the xgrxgr5d.default folder instead deleting the whole folder. I replaced with the contents of the .default folder of my Tbird in XP. It's golden-- all my accounts set are up, and my custom folders are there to use. The experience highlights a major advantage of Windows (but also of Mac). My OS X was able to read the WinXP portion of my MBP hard drive and easily copy that profile folder. Windows System Restore is elegant and efficient and Mac doesn't have it. Time Machine is a great name-- which would better name the function of what Windows System Restore does. Thanks for the Profile Manager pages from Mozilla. With "the migration of the Tbird" complete, plus I got Outlook migrated to iCal... my comfort level is high and I can set my boot camp default to Mac. [/QUOTE]
