How do I limit the updates that are installed to those from a specific set of repositories? Is this at all possible?

This is just silly:    If I try accepting (no, I wouldn't go through with it), it just says that the update is unavailable.  So why does it ask me to downgrade, and how do I get rid of this?

I previously ran 12.04 alongside WinXP to see how it performed on my mom's older laptop.  i also migrated her email to Thunderbird. If I now convert from dual WinXP/Ubuntu to only run Ubuntu will things like her Thunderbird emails be transferred as part of the Ubuntu full install? Or must I do something else? I am fairly tech aware, but not a full IT boffin!

I can update my Ubuntu to the new LTS version. As you can think, its not a highly important server since I run 13.10 (not a LTS version). Anyway - I actually want to upgrade my server, but would like to be able to revert this upgrade.   I would be able to reinstall Ubuntu 13.10 and overwrite it with my backup. But I want to know if there is a more comfortable way to do this. TBH I guess theres no command as undo-release-upgrade but I thought it would be worth to ask for it.  This is my current daily backup script  tar cvpzf $backup_file --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=$backup_file --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media --exclude=/tmp /

I'm very new to this. I've trawled the forums to try to find out how to set up Thunderbird in Ubuntu and transfer my existing profile from Windows but I can't work it out. Please help.   Step-by-step instructions like you're talking to the impaired (because you are)  would be most appreciated.

There are now errors when updating and I cannot install most software due to a corrupted  /etc/apt/sources.list   file. Is there a copy I can download to replace it?  The file would be for Ubuntu 12.04 (Final Beta) in the United States.
