- This article was originally written for Thunderbird but it also applies to Firefox and Mozilla Suite.
MozBackup is a standalone utility (for Windows only) rather than a Thunderbird extension. It works by backing up a Thunderbird profile into a single file (named "*.pcv"), which can then be restored on the same Windows computer or a different one. (MozBackup can also be used to back up and restore Firefox, Mozilla Suite, and Netscape 7 profiles.) It can be downloaded from the MozBackup homepage, where additional MozBackup documentation is also available. The download web page lists what extensions it knows how to backup/restore.
While Mozbackup is extremely popular in the forums its recommended that if you plan on using it for regular backups that you first test it to verify that it will properly restore your Thunderbird profile.
Note: Also works with Flock
SeaMonkey 2.0.3 contains the following noteworthy changes relative to SeaMonkey 2.0.2:
- Security fixes
- Fixes for a number of non-security-relevant crashes, increasing the stability of the whole platform and the Mail & Newsgroups part of SeaMonkey
- New supported language version: Japanese
- A problem with Outgoing Server (SMTP) connections after migration from older versions was fixed by disabling stricter security checking and reverting to previous behavior for the moment. (Bug 522633)
- Cutting and copying text should not be blocked by certain other Windows applications any more. (Bug 525601)
- Profile migration from 1.x should succeed in more cases on Windows now. (Bug 537525)
- Language packs from 2.0.3 now continue to work with later SeaMonkey 2.0.x versions. (Bug 544096)
- Language packs for all locales now don't include dictionaries to avoid licensing conflicts. Dictionaries should be installed from the dictionary add-ons page instead. (Bug 537481)
- The internal security module has been updated and new certificate authorities were included. (Bug 528277)
- Opening files from the Mac desktop or Finder should now work even when SeaMonkey is already running. (Bug 521699)
The changes page lists more details on those new features and fixes relative to SeaMonkey 2.0.2.
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) released a report on online fraud today (http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/916075) as part of their awareness campaign "Online Offensive - Fight Fraud Online" which runs March 1-7. The programme runs every year in Australia and New Zealand and aims to educate people about online scams and is a cooperative effort between government and private enterprise. The idea is to provide non-IT people with some of the tools that they can use to recognise the various schemes. We all know someone who has been taken in.
