johnoo Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I use this to back up my e mails in Thunderbird.After "Backing Up" I have never tried to asses the file, if that's the correct terminology.But today I tried & found that I could not enter the file.I got a message "What do you want to do with this file"?Open/Save/Save as. I clicked on "Open"Then got a screen stating "View Downloads" & asking if I want to save it Question, what am I doing wrong.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I've never used it so can only suggest you read the instruction pdf and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 So far as I can see it backs up your profiles and not the Emails I don't use Thunderbird so I can't help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Belatucadrus,Thanks, never knew these instructions existed, & I think they solve my problem.Have downloaded to my "Procedures" FolderAlan,Looking at the detail when the back up is started, it does back up e mails.However would like if possible someone with the knowledge to confirm this. I think Boris advised me of the Moz Back up system, perhaps he would confirmRegards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
