Thanks,

I find that even though I have my default font set at "Comic Sans Ms", sometimes it changes to Variable width when i go to compose an email.
Apparently I'm not allowed coloured text in my signature. This is 2012 and not 2001 you know!

I've had similar font issues with the 2005-06-04 build.

I've been downloading podcasts like a fool for the past few days hehe

I'm really liking this espcially when you can have 2 email accounts with their own smtp server

do the tb nightlies include 1.1a1 fixes or do I need to wait for the next alpha/beta release?

Yes, the nightlies and the prereleases are all from the trunk.

Well, it's just a question of wording. Instead of recipient, try "To". You can't search by sender either: you can use "From", though. ;-)


Actually searching by 'From', formerly 'Sender', does not work.

Since the new Alpha 1.1, I have noticed that the profile on Windows is stored in:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\0nt8ipuj.default
This contains all the files that comprise the profile.

but when Thunderbird runs, a profile directory is also created in:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\0nt8ipuj.default
This second profile directory simply contains a single file xul.mfl which gets rebuilt every time T'bird is started.

Anybody on Windows seeing this?
I assume this is a bug.. the xul.mfl should be created in the correct profile directory but for whatever reason it is being created beneath the "Local Settings" dir.

No additional extensions are in use.

It's the cache folder, see <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291033" title="Enable support for profile temp directory on local filesystem">bug 291033</a>.

I've read that bug and I don't see what putting this file into Local Settings achieves apart from fragmenting these files into multiple locations. If this file is meant to be temporary then why is it not (a) deleted when the program exits and
(b) put it under C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp

Just noticed that I when I send and receive emails with 6/3 build, I am not getting the 'paperclip' showing the presence of attachments.
Anybody confirm?

great feature

Post by wisi »

"Improved UI under Account Settings for managing multiple SMTP accounts. If you have an account with multiple identities, you can even configure an SMTP server for each identity."

The best feature I expected for a long time

This may be picking a nit, but the inline spell checker in the 20050531 build of Tb 1.0+ thinks "Thunderbird" is misspelled. That should probably be fixed before it goes out to the general public.

"Thunderbird can make it easy for anti-virus software to analyze incoming mail messages for viruses before they are stored locally."

Wohooooo! Great feature! Anyone know if this works as it should in the alpha?

if THUND~1.exe or thunderbird.exe are showing in task manager then use task manager to kill the process .. then delete your profile and try again

I had the same problem a few times on the 1.1 alpha 1 and that fixed it everytime .. until the next time I installed it that is but for me the newer builds don't do that anymore
