Opening E-Mails
On my 64bit-laptop I have two operating systems in dual-boot-mode (Windows7 and Fedora19LXDE), and a separate partition („Own Files“) where I store my private files, e.g. important e-mails (*.eml). My e-mail-client in both operating systems is Thunderbird.
When starting my laptop from out Windows7, I can open and read without any problem all e-mails stored in the partition “Own Files”. However, when I start my laptop from Fedora, it is impossible to open the same e-mails.: after a click on the e-mail the little wheel turns and turns and then stops.
Has anyone an idea, where this problem might come from? Anyway, thanks for your help.
Greetings
Andrew
You may be using a POP account for one of your systems. Depending on how your POP account is set up, you might be simultaneouslydownloading your emails and erasing them from the server. When you switch platforms, it is the same as booting up another computer, and those emails are no longer available on the system that you last booted.

If the emails are downloaded to this partition, yes? Check the permissions on this folder
from a terminal in fedora: ls /path/to/folder
