I did a clean install of FC8 on PC which had FC6 before, I saved the

.thunderbird folder from FC6.
How do I use the "Import" tool in thunderbird, FC8 to import the
old FC6
thunderbird mail , address book ?
I physically moved the old address book into the FC8 thunderbird
and it
wouldn't accept that.
What I would recommend is to first quit TB, remove the new F8-TB
profile you have created and copy the F6-TB profile into your home
directory.
Once TB starts up it should automatically convert/update the necessary
data from the old profile and use that information.
I've been using the same TB profile since RH9 (Thunderbird 0.1a). Each
time I upgraded I left the old profile and it got update with each new
version of Thunderbird. Of course I backed up with every new Fedora
release but I've never had a major problem. On occasion I had to tweak
some settings.

I agree with you on that, if I do it that way I get a ERROR message in
FC8 about "Security" issues, in Firefox and Thunderbird.
Why, when you Copy/Burn ~/user to a DVD it changes the "Permissions" on the
Files ?
I had to go into .thunderbird and change permissions to read/write on
all the files for "owner" , they where changed to read only for owner.
This was the FC6 .thunderbird I burnt to a DVD.
