| 1132844 | 2010-08-29 11:22:00 | Thunderbird has lost 6 months of email messages from the inbox. It looks like a common fault. I'm trying to open the thunderbird inbox file with a text editor like notepad. Notepad crashes, wordpad crashes, open office gets half way through importing the file & crashes. I've renamed the inbox file to inbox.txt. Tried doing the same & the same happens. Tried opening it with notepad via command line & it says the file is too large for notepad. Does onyone know of a text editor program that will force it's way into anything & open it? |

| 1132846 | 2010-08-29 11:32:00 | Yep tried that. No good I did once manage to keep the inbox file open long enough to see that the emails I want are in there. I've got to get in & change their status for them to be available for the inbox to show them. I just need the inbox to open I was wondering if a linux text editor might do it ?? |

| 1132847 | 2010-08-29 12:44:00 | Why on earth would you keep all that mail in your inbox The inbox is just that, a place to receive mail and then you sort it into folders or delete it. It is like your letter box, if you leave 6 months of mail in it you are bound to loose some of it. |
