Title:
  backup mail in cdrom is unreadable

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
