you are right about the list....Can I ask a question??
If you make a fresh installation, you are requested to set an account, that
is done even if you have copied back your backup folders ..and Restore of
backup is done after you have set an account: what am I missing??? is it
correct???
Thunderbird has a different behaviour, if you copied back folders you are
not asked to set up an account.
