[LUG] Sharing Thunderbird Mint/Windows 7

[Julian Hall <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

As I've mentioned a few times, I am dual-booting Windows 7 and Mint 16.  
I have Thunderbird shared by the simple method of pointing both 
installations to the same location for the mail folders.  I never leave 
the folders pointed to the default location on the basis it could get 
inadvertently wiped during a reinstall, so the setup at present is:

dev/sda5 (Windows C:) NTFS - Windows install of Thunderbird
dev/sda6 (Windows Data D:) NTFS : - Location of shared Mail folder
dev/sda8 (Linux /):  Mint 6 install root

The problem I have is that if I receive a mail in Linux and then 
subsequently look at it in Windows there is no problem - sometimes 
necessary if I receive a mail about a problem I have in Windows. However 
any mail I received in Windows prior to installing Linux is either 
corrupted or blank when viewed in Linux.

Any ideas why please?

Kind regards,

Julian
