Actually. The problem I seemed to run into was that either the setting 
for "check for new messages on startup" is disabled by accident in the 
new install, or got added, and wasn't there before. The result of this 
is that it won't "look for" new ones at all.

Mind, Thunderbird was acting damn weird for a few days, before I 
updated, (completely blank display, with no folders, etc., until I 
closed it, then started again), so its possible that the setting file 
got corrupted, somehow, and that mangled the new one when it tried to 
import. It was quite odd...

   }
   else
     call crash_windows();
}
