Various bugs and TODO - Where to post?!

Post by Blackoasis »

Hi!

Some "bugs" here from me:

1. adding a new pop3-account, you have to tell a username for login on pop3-server, but Thunderbird doesnt take that username for the smtp-Server automatically. You have to change it under the Preferences!

2. It doesnt register under Windows as possible news client. Let me explain: In Windows there's a register card in the IE for choosing the Application for browsing, mail, news, etc... Thunderbird is an option for the mails, but it "forgets" that for news.

3. I cant change the path for saving my profile!

I think it's a little too early to file Thunderbird bugs.

Run "PATH\TO\Thunderbird.exe" -p
that should load the profile manager...
