Works fine in XP. In FC1 the first time I opened the Local Folders I could see all my mail, but I could not filter mail from my imap server to the local folders because of write permissions. I tried changing permissions through the nautilus gui kdesu'd in but it wouldn't let me change permissions. Why can't I change these permissions even as root; is it because the drive is already mounted? I tried changing /etc/fstab but wouldn't let me change the permissions here (even after reboots). Am I trying to change write permissions in the wrong place? After this I could see the folders in thunderbird but could not see any of my mail. I changed /etc/fstab to defaults and still see the folders but still nothing in them. When I look to see what's mounted it shows read write permission to this partition, but is that only for "root" which automatically mounted the partition on boot up? Booted back into XP and it sees my local folders on the vfat partition just fine. Again, I see the folders in Thunderbird but can't read or write messages.
Maybe this is more of a Thunderbird question but I thought there might be a Linux/Fedora specific component/fix to it.

PS I'd found these instructions for dual boot with mozilla mail if you're interested in trying it yourself: http://vsbabu.org/mt/archives/2003/07/06/mozilla_mailbox_in_dualboot_machine.html
