Image restore and Thunderbird mail.
This is rather odd. I am using True Image home 2010 on Win 7 64. Lets say I create an image and it includes two important emails under my Thunderbird email account. All other emails have been deleted before image creation. So, this image contains only two emails in my Thunderbird account.
Later after getting 20 or so new email messages, I decide to restore the above described image. I leave the 20 or so emails alone before restoring the image. After doing so, I would think that when I go into my email account, that all I would see is the two important emails that were in the image I just restored from. Instead, I see the two important emails, as well as the 20 or so new emails that I received. Remember, the 20 or so emails came later after the image was created.
It's almost like Thunderbird mails saves emails on a different drive than the one you are creating and restoring images from. And that they will be there after a restore.
What's up with this?

You restore your disk with only the 2 emails. Upon bootup, Thunderbird accesses the web and bring home any emails which are not part of the current stock. As far as Thunderbird is concerned, it never knew that you had already seen this emails so it brings them home again. I have 3 disks which each have 2010, another 2011 and another with 2012 beta. What happens to you happens to me every time I switch drives. Upon bootup, I get anything that is new to that particular disk.
Hmmm.....like the emails are being saved on a server somewhere, and are delivered again after a restore? After a restore they all show as already read. Matter of fact, all my old sent/reply emails responding to these emails are also listed in my "sent" folder.

Thunderbird does have option to leave the message on your email server for user choice of days.

Ok, I figured this out. You see, this was never happening before now. I had recently set up a new account under Tbird mail, and I set it up as IMAP, instead of POP3 like I had it before. So you were correct in that as soon as I restored an image and checked in Tbird mail, it would display my emails. I have it set up to display email as soon as I open it.
