it's like Phoenix, but for mail. Mozilla mail only, so to say.
not even in 0.1 state for now. but moving, and anticipated.

Its Mozilla Mail without the Mozilla suite (but almost the same size download). Try to keep up. You shouldn't download things if you don't know what they are anyway.

As of right now it is nothing more or less than the mail-and-news component of Mozilla, without the browser. That will change in the future.

I wish people would stop saying that. Minotaur, at the moment, has customizeable toolbars, much cooler icons, and no dropdown arrow next to the getmessages button. It also removes some mozilla legacy elements. By the way, according to the website, "Development is currently occurring on our 0.1 branch which was recently created from the Mozilla 1.3 branch on March 12th, 2003." I believe the plan is to move the project to the trunk (like Phoenix), after 0.1 is released.Neil Parks wrote:As of right now it is nothing more or less than the mail-and-news component of Mozilla, without the browser.

Sounds awesome, willll! You also seem to be the one "in the know," so...would I be able to run Minotaur side-by-side with my Mozilla Mail client? I'b be interested in seeing and testing it, but Mozilla Mail is my regular client and in my situation (several domain accounts), I need a stable e-mail client.willll wrote:Minotaur, at the moment, has customizeable toolbars, much cooler icons...

Minotaur + MozMail
I gotta suspect there can be unforeseen interactions akin to the occasional problems that arise when Netscape 6, 7+ coexist with Mozilla. & it is development stage, though surely deserving more than a 0.1 version number.
But, numbering systems mystify me ... in the Linux world projects seem to approach 1.0 as an asymptotic limit never to be attained lest the coders be bereft of their work.

yeah, no kidding. Also, I don't understand this pre-alpha crap. I was always under the impression that if there is code, it's in alpha...let alone if there's a build!

(like in mozilla/Phx, -P "NAME")
? Cheers
You should be able to open a profile that is not the default just like you would in Mozilla. i.e -P "Name". Let me know if that is not working for you. Also you can force the profile manager up via -ProfileManager
