New (08/29) Windows, Linux GTK2 0.2 Candidate now available

[Dennis_Hawks]

You can wait if you want for the final release (which should be soon) or you can help test it and post bugs.

I would do it if the MT were not my primary e-mail client at work - I would not let any bugs spoil my work correspondence. BTW - when do you expect the final 0.2 release? will it be based on Mozilla 1.5 final or beta?

In the Mac OS build I just finished, I see an XML Parse Error:

Click on the Attachments Prefs Icon;

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location:chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/pref-downloads.xul
Line number 108, column 1

I get the same error. Worked fine in the O828 OS X build.

the thunderbird-i686-pc-linux-gtk2-> Aug 29 19:02 package is bull**it


you can only watch execute the files as root

chmod +r on all files

chmod +rx on all dirs

and chmod +x on all excecutable files will fix it

Just a very minor glitch..File | Save as | template does not seem to work,
However copy message to template folder works fine, and everything is stored including
the html background. This is desirable in my view.

Any JS errors inthe console? File / Save As / Template is working for me. If you have a JS error that might help shed some light.

I understand and agree with making the Default News Client an option. Can that be another checkbox right under the present one for Mail Client?

Seems I always get in here after the rush and end up being a "Me Too"
See JoeS has posted the most notable particulars for news. Weill get back with info on the migration test.

OK file|save as| template works fine when working with inbox messages

With News messages no JS error, but nothing goes to the template folder.
This is just a very minor problem since 'copy message' does the same thing.

I can now view source on newsgroup messages again in this candidate build.

[Gensuke]

Could this be the last candidate build for windows? Help test and we'll find out together =).

I do not want to be boring as hell, and I appreciate your work basically anytime I use Thunderbird, anyway the Eudora settings import bug is still present even in this build.

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209345

I think it would be nice to have the second milestone with this bug fixed. Feel free to ask for the eudora.ini file (I'm the one who filed the bug).

Regards.

Greetings,

Enigmail is still broke. I'm running redhat 9 with Ximian XD2. 0.2 and 0.2a both just exit after installing Enigmail and starting thunderbird once. Every invocation of thunderbird fails after that.

when will the theme version change from "1.5" to "tb0.2" (or whatever its going to be) ???

[dd01]

One issue I've come across is that TB quite often reprompts for the password to my news server when I select a newsgroup after looking at mail, as if it's had a problem connecting (though I don't get the same problem accessing the server via any other means.) If I cancel the dialog and close and reopen the news account node in the tree then it's fine again and doesn't prompt.

Great work though - TB is looking good!

We need some more artwork from arvid ASAP :)

We need some more artwork from arvid ASAP

I totally agree with you!

Well they are really just nits, but two things I thing should be done if we are doing another spin on this and they don't involve too much work would be.

1. Fix it so that when you right click on a message header and select move the message to your junk folder, the folder, the incorrect junk icon is displayed in the menu.

2. As it appears there is no code in Thunderbird to actually process an automatic proxy configureation script, then we should really add the text "(not yet implemented)" next to the Automatic configuration URL in Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings. This will kind of clue people in to the fact that it does not work and we know it does not work.
