ძიება მხარდაჭერაში

ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში მხარდაჭერის საიტზე. აქ არასდროს მოგთხოვენ სატელეფონო ნომერზე დარეკვას, შეტყობინების გამოგზავნას ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარებას. გთხოვთ, გვაცნობოთ რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას „დარღვევაზე მოხსენების“ მეშვეობით.

I have some old emails with information that I need to access. I've saved them on disk, but haven't used them in years. Now I need to try to access the files. The outer folder is named "mail" and 3 subfolders are named "local folders" and then two named by the pop servers they were associated with.

Inside the folders, I have files named inbox (no file extension) and inbox.msf. The files lacking extensions seem to contain all the data.

I can't seem to import these messages into a current version of thunderbird. Any ideas on how I might be able to access the old emails?

Thanks... it's a little tricky, so in case anyone has the same problems down the line: you need to use "import mbox file" (which seemed to me would work for some .mbox file extension). It worked.

Thanks!

Install this add-on and use it to import the Inbox files into your current profile. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/

The mbox file is the one w/o an extension.
