restoring mail file in thunderbird

[Chris Aitken]

I just did a clean install of fedora 7. I used scp to copy my mail file 
from a backup computer. I changed the permissions. I created a new 
account and pointed the server to that (/home/chris/docs2bckup/mymail). 
I reload thunderbird but still no mail. Interestingly one (and only one) 
folder shows up (a folder named "holding" that I had set message filters 
to send junk mail to). Why is this so difficult? I've done this from 
version to version before...
