Stupid question: does it work when copying TB from a Win-7 box to a
Macbook Pro machine?
I've tried to do this and I could never get TB to run under the
MacOSes as it does in the Win-7 environment. It always took hours of
fiddling and still needed poking about with passwords and permissions
and stuff.
Okay, I just looked. I don't *have* a "Tools ---> Export" option
though I do have an Import one, which makes no damned sense to me. Can
I take it that my Thunderbird is too elderly for this to be available
to me?
Oh. Well. Bugger that. :)
I'm using V 24.0 and the latest seems to be 138.xx so, yes, my copy
*is* a little elderly.
Maybe I should think of an update?
