It might be interesting to move /home/bobg/.thunderbird/6gjqb341.default/Mail
which contains:

to the NFS server at something like /mnt/HOME1/tbdata and have a second Thunderbird use that in place of /home/bobg/.thunderbird
but I have not been able to devise a link that works.
No doubt the wrong approach?

Well I see that I can read the gmail files by browsing to: /home/bobg/.thunderbird/6gjqb341.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com in the Thunderbird account settings for the /home/bobg/.thunderbird/m6ef68kn.default/Mail/mail.wildblue.net Thunderbird on the other computer.
That's a step in the right direction but might not be convenient. However the more I think about it, that might be all I really need to do? I mainly need a way to read older mail.
