Released on 14 Sep 06, and this changelog was last updated on 22 Sep 06.

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 over 1.5.0.5. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release. Do check out the known issues as well.

The Gecko 1.8.0.x branch (Thunderbird 1.5.0.x series) will only bring stability and security bug fixes. As such, no new features will be added. To synchronize the version numbering with Firefox, the 1.5.0.6 numbering was dropped in favour of 1.5.0.7.

Impact key for security issues listed on the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories webpage:

  • Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
  • High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
  • Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
  • Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have "High" impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)

any chance that the option to have the original message close when you reply to it?

In the news-reader it would be nice if insignificant (selected by me) could be removed. With a group of over 40000 messages it takes up space and is extremely time consuming to find a message more than a week back.

Would be very nice to see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309371 repaired. :(

Re: Firefox & Thundrbird 1.5.0.7

Ever installing these new updates I constantly get the following error upon starting either program:

ReferenceError: Jevent is not defined.

Any idea what this is or how to find out about this (I've been using these appps for a few years and this is the first time I've seen this)? Until I click OK, the applications don't open.

Thanks,
Gary

Hi,

I think it would be good to have an 'empty junk' option on the right click menu of the junk folder, it would be much neater than having to use the 'delete mail marked as junk in folder' option in the tools menu.

Option to move signature exactly below my forward, not below the letter, like the one on reply.

How configure authentified SMTP with the same parameters than pop acces on thunderbird 1.5.07?

1.5.0.7 has fixed the problem of informing me that I had 199,000 odd emails but it now only advises the no of emails in the last folder looked at. Shouldn't thunderbird advise of the total number of emails in local folders, not the no of the last folder looked at?

With the upgrade to version 1.5.0.7, Thunderbird started to ask for the password to connect with dcwis.com (my ISP). Even though I enter the correct password, Thunderbird will not let me connect to dcwis.com. The message is: "Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server dcwis.com responded: authentication exchange failed." Thunderbird only asks for the password, not the username.

When contacted, DCWIS says many of their subscribers who have been using Thunderbird successfuly for many months but installed the 1.5.0.7 upgrade have encountered the same problem. The only solution DCWIS and its subscribers know is to revert to Microsoft's Outlook Express which continue to work.

What's the fix for this?

One way is uninstall 1.5.0.7, go to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.5/ , download 1.5.0.5, install it, turn off the automatic updates on options/update and await next version to be released. This is classified as bug #352801, if you want to track it.
