I am very excited to announce the release of our latest Milestone, 0.4 for Thunderbird.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunder ... notes.html
Many thanks to everyone here in the forums that helped test and provided feedback for this release. We could not have done it with out you.
Thanks and Enjoy,
-Scott
P.S. Upgraders with external themes or extensions, don't forget to clear out the chrome directory in your profile or the milestone build will not work. You will need to find 0.4 compatible versions of those themes and extensions. Last edited by mscott on December 23rd, 2003, 2:06 pm, edited 1 time in total. Thunderbirds are Go!

Does that mean deleting the overlays folder as well as the jar files etc within chrome? User-Agent: Thunderbird/2.0 Alpha 1 0808

Repost from yesterday, slightly edited ...
If everything is expanded in Tools > Options > Advanced, I'm unable to scroll with my mouse wheel, and must click on the scrollbar or its down/up buttons. A minor thing, but an annoyance, since wheel scrolling seems to work everywhere else in Tbird. I'm using the default theme, with no extensions.
Scott ...
I've mentioned this several times (and may be the only one who wants to see it implemented) ... when inserting an image in the composition window, the default setting in Image Properties is Alternate text (which I never use), and I have to select Don't use alternate text every time I include an image (most emails). Could you PLEASE code that so the selected setting sticks until changed?
Otherwise, GREAT job!
Jim

On my Mac, Thunderbird.app's version information has 0.3a instead of 0.4.

on my Mac everything's fine - it shows: "Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 (20031205)" . try deleting/move to trash the existing thunderbird.app from the application folder (you won't lose your emails and settings) and then reinstall 0.4.
you can also read a new review of Thunderbird 0.4 for Mac:

Oops!! N discovered that I failed to update the Info.plist file. It shouldn't harm anything though.

Love Thunderbird. However, there's still a problem with notifications, at least with IMAP, don't know about POP.
You only get notified about new mail under the currently selected folder (when you minimize). New mail in other folders are there but you have to select them manually to get the notification. Also the latest folders having received new mail, are 'bold' when you maximize Thunderbird the next time around (hope youu understand what I mean)..

What does compacting a folder do? I just did it on my inbox,
how do I un-do it? I didnt see anything happen. Did I break
something I cant undo?  A prisoner of Christ Jesus, by His stripes I was healed

When you delete or messages, it doesn't actually move them from the inbox file, because this would increase the disk write activity immensely. Instead, it just marks the message as deleted. (This also means that if you accidentally deleted something you didn't want to, you can still recover it usually.) Compacting the mailbox goes through and really deletes the deleted messages.

really hurting for space, my 80GB Maxtor still has 76.5 GB
left, but it nice to know. Thanks for the reply.
