if you "cp -R" your ~/.mozilla and ~/.thunderbird directories to your f22 system, you will maintain settings you have in f21.
THANKS. Got it now.
welcome. go to know.
only problems that you may/might/will have is if the firefox and thunderbird versions in f22 is later than f21.
I run Thunderbird from scripts, as I have 4 copies running, each with their own mail directories (and each with multiple mail accounts). An example of one of the scripts is:
export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 thunderbird -profile ~/data/htt/Mail & export -n MOZ_NO_REMOTE
I have been do this at least since '06. Running multiple Thunderbirds MIGHT be easier now, but it seems to work fine this way.
yes, thunderbird will run that way, but you are using more memory and cpu time doing such, along having to keep up with 3 more email windows.
i have filters for all of my email accounts that move emails to associated 'folders' under "Local Folders". with such, i have only 1 'tree panel' and 1 thunderbird window to watch for new emails.
if/when i need to view multiple threads or emails, i do so by right clicking on email, then select "Open Message in New Window".
mainly, you may/will/might have conflicts with old add-ons.
I installed adblock plus (my only Firefox add-on) before messing with this. Thuderbird is another issue. I have lost track of extensions and add-ons, but as they are kept by mail tree, they tend to move ok.
i pull add-ons and save them in event i have to reinstall/rebuild either of progs.
because of all the crap moz devs are pushing out, i am soon to drop both firefox and thunderbird. they have spent too much time trying to "keep up with the Jones" that they are dropping good functions because they do not have time to correct bugs that they are developing. also, with their attitude of "we know more about what the user needs than what the user wants" is gotten more and more ridiculous. i do not look forward to what they will be coming up with trying to keep up with the new ms web browser.
anyway, enough rant. glad to see you have things working.
