Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

1) Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
2) Thunderbird 2.0.0.22

3) What you expected to happen: To Final message

4) What happened instead

Thunderbird need the MAIL folder writable, then if I copy my old mail
(burn backup) in a CDROM is impossible read it.

I never delete my messages, a day in year I doing a backup:

1) Close thunderbird
2) burn to CDROM or DVD-ROM the all folders in 
~/.mozilla-thunderbird/XXXXXXX.default/Mail/AAA.com
3) Open thunderbird
4) I remove all messages in my folders since Thunderbird.
5) I can receive new messages and all OK, but...
6) I create a new account in my Thunderbird, and I change the folder mail to 
/media/cdrom/..../Mail/AAA.com

7) Apply changes, close Thunderbird, open thunderbird but the folder is
blank

If I copy the Mail folder to other hard-disk place, and change all
permission to Read-Write, then all is OK and I can view messages.

The problem is that never I can to do a backup, I need have all messages
in hard-disk if I want read it.
