MaileStoreHome does not have access to Mail account

[HKaufmann]

Hello everyone,

has installed MailStoreHome Portable via Bottles. I copied the complete directory from the Windows computer to Linux Mint in my home directory and called the .exe. It works everything. Unfortunately, I have no access to .thunderbird and all mail accounts. So cannot archive new mails.

Do anyone know how to make the Linux dot directories visible in a Wine environment? The normal Linux directories can be accessed in the Wine environment.

Greetings Holger

Use Flatseal and add the .thunderbird directory path to listed filesystems for Bottles or turn all the slider for "All user files" which gives Bottles access to everything in your homedir. I would do the first one though, so that you give it only what it needs.

Thank you f3dmebits,

I had already done. Unfortunately without success.

I know it works because I've recently done it another file-system location with an application installed in Bottles. So you should be able to see it and if not maybe the archiving functionality of that program can't deal with .thunderbird as an archive.

It's a shame, it doesn't work for me. Shared all directories via Flatseal. No problems on the Windows machine. I can call up all old mails but not in the mail program.

Try doing this.

flatpak run --command=sh com.usebottles.bottles                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
[ com.usebottles.bottles ~]$ cd .thunderbird/
[ com.usebottles.bottles .thunderbird]$ pwd
/home/maarten/.thunderbird

Are you able to see the .thunderbird directory then?

[ com.usebottles.bottles ~]$ cd .thunderbird/
[ com.usebottles.bottles .thunderbird]$ pwd
/home/maarten/.thunderbird

Sorry, no. I replaced "maarten" with my name. There is no .thunderbird in bottles.

If there is no .thunderbird directory in Bottles then you have something not set correctly in Flatseal.

Run the following.

sudo flatpak override com.usebottles.bottles --filesystem=~/.thunderbird

Then close your Bottles application and then try the following again.

flatpak run --command=sh com.usebottles.bottles 
cd .thunderbird/
pwd
