Feedback on RC1
I tried it out and overall it looked great, worked great, and I like all of the new features and the new UI/face. Unfortunately,
however, there is one huge show stopper that forced me to go back to v1.5, and that is the incompatibility
with a few extensions that are *crucial* for me. I'm an old unix user, but who for various reasons needs
to use windows, so I need these. The
three extensions are "Nostalgy" (which adds shortcuts to change folder, move messages, and has fast
folder completion). It was not compatible with 2.0. The other is "External Editor 0.7.3". It is listed as
compatible, but it just didn't work after trying many options (including de-installing the extension, reinstalling it,
updating it, and trying lots of different options). I use external editor to invoke emacs when I'm composing
long emails (yes, I still need emacs, that's how old I am . The third extension that I need is "Xpunge 0.2.2".
Sorry guys, without these extensions I need to stick to 1.5 for now (but as soon as these are resolved, or if there are
workarounds that I discover), I'll immediately try out 2.0 again.
In general, thanks for the great software!!!

Do you use Mnenhy? With older versions you get this problem. Try mnenhy 0.7.5 and your problem should be solved.

Searching for tags problem
I cannot get searching for tags to work. I always get no hits when searching for tags. I experienced the same when using beta2. Is there anything I have to do to make searching work for tags? I mean, sort of the point with tags is to make search folders and if they aren't searchable...
The tagged messages are from an IMAP server (exchange) and it seems the tagging in itself works (since tags set are remembered by thunderbird).
Apart from that I think 2.0 is really good.

@mscott,
I am not sure that it is particularly user friendly not to download POP mail by default. I think OE works that way and I am sure TB used to as well. I had that problem a little while back when I rebuilt my profile from scratch and alex2364 has had the same issue.
Is it worth filing a bug or will it be thrown out?

Does anyone else have a chrome error in the Mac OS X version that results in about 100 pixels of padding along the bottom margin (below the status bar and with the same backbround) displaying the following message in red:
<menuitem
-----------------------^
I am temporarily unable to post a screen shot, but perhaps someone else is seeing this?
