[Samba] Thunderbird, CSC and files/folder...

[Marco Gaiarin]

[ I don't think it is a samba trouble, but indeed some clue... ]

A user of mine have a rather complex Thunderbird local folder email
archive, in a network folder (P:\Mail), with CSC enabled (it is a
portable system).

Rather frequently (at least once a week) in the share a 'disk folder' (a
directory) with the same name of the 'file' of the email folder get created.
Because (AFAI've understood) windows does not support files and
directory with the same name in a dir, windows see only the directory.


The result: the mailbox desappear from thunderbird (or, worster, it is
still here but is empty).

Solution: close thunderbird, delete (from windows explorer) the file
folder (directory) that is empty, the mailbox folder (the file) reappear,
start thunderbird, all OK.


It is a bt annoying... and it is not clear if this is a Thunderbird,
CSC or samba quastion...


Thanks.
