Hi,
I'm a bit desperate here, my ISP is dropping their
eMail service, and I have like twenty years of old messages on the server that
will be gone in a couple weeks.
I created an Outlook account and went into my ISP's
web server settings and set it to forward all messages to my new outlook
account, but it did not do any old archived messages.
I installed Thunderbird and went into advanced
options and did the following steps:
***the best method is hidden in Thunderbird's
Config Editor. Head to Thunderbird's Options and go to Advanced > Config
Editor, and click the "I Accept
the Risk" button when prompted. Search for the mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new setting and double-click it to set it to "True." * So that only went back about a year or so, and it
did not seem to work.
I know all my old messages are there, because I
could spend all day going back and back a hundred at a time.
So I was wondering if a text eMail client like Mutt
would work, and I've looked on-line and I'm not sure which will work for my
Ubuntu 18.X.
And I don't know if it works with
Orca.
Does anyone know if this or another eMail client
can get all these messages?
I'm thinking a text based client runs cleaner and
won't fail to get all the messages, but I'm just grasping for straws
now.
Thanks.
Glenn
