 Is there a "Re-index mail folders" feature? That should recover lost mail. 

 Migrate should be thought of as "copy". It is designed to copy a functional profile to a another version of Mozilla. It is not a "repair". It will migrate
whatever problem you had before. That is why you manually check the files to find the problem.

 NAS main purpose is a file server, to distribute the same files to various computers. You need protocols setup as Samba or Netbios to talk to NAS. A usb
