1. I have two categories of spam ; absolute spam and marketing messages from companies I deal with . I'd like to keep them seperate rather than have them both end up in the "Deleted" folder . A "Junk" folder is referred to but doesn't exist . I'd like to have two (or more) "Junk" columns in the inbox ; Spam & Junk , so I could easily sort this stuff .
2. I still use a dial-up . Please state the size of download in the TBird 1.5.0.x (or 2.x.0.x) Reminder Pop-Up .

Any ideas when the beta1 for TH2.0 may be released ?
We are past the early December that the revised roadmap says. You guys are doing great work - I *need* this thing (dunno how the world managed without multiple tags on a mail for so long).

The page for beta1 is on-line and there is a download link for it.

Ich faende es sehr gut, wenn Thunderbird beim Start sofort den Ordner Posteingang anzeigen wuerde, oder es man sich so einstellen koennte.

Is there a way to optimize the time it takes to download / Sync from the IMAP server to the client? Better still, couldn't it be done in the background, when the system is idle?
If you do 2 downlaod / sync in a row, the second one takes as much time as the first one. Why is that? There's nothing to download or synch the second time, but the system is still spinning cycles.
Thanks.

It would be so greate if you could finally fix this annoying bug: "Some attachments (like text/plain, text/html) get Content-Disposition: inline (incorrect)" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65794
Why not just change the default prefs? It could be so easy.
However. You are doing more than good work with TB.

in the last version the distribution list did not work. It gave me the name of the list as an adress and told me that I can't use it as an adress. That's correct but unusefull.
Maybe you could make it work.
Thanks.

There is still a Probelm with virtual Folders, the online search option and the Tags, which cannot be removed....
It would be great if one could change the tags with filters, such as later becomes importatnt after 3 days or such....
Thanks

will Tbird 2 allow opening of links from within emails ?
Posted by: Phil at December 16, 2006 10:43 PM
Can not open links from within Thunderbird 2 when is that likely to be addressed . But Excellent Job HUGE thanks to the team

Please configure TB to do like Outlook Express does -- close the message window when one clicks 'Reply' or 'Forward' instead of leaving the message window open.
Thank you, :) tom

dear novices,
1. betas are not for you.
2. this is not a bugtracker or help forum.

My Thunderbird 2.0 beta 1 hangs up every time when I try to reach Edit -> Preferences -> Composition. My distro is Fedora Core 6.
This also happens in a newly created profile.
My gtk2 theme is Clearlooks-Quicksilver

Filters don't appear to work unless I run them upon the file. They do not work when the email arrives.

Any timeframe when links can be opened in Thunderbird messages again??

I'm also having problems with filters on local folders but my problem is that they're not showing. Looking at the filter log, they do seem to be working but they don't show when I edit the filter.
I have a filter called "Stuff I don't want to read" for items where I can't unsubscribe from. The filter marks things as read and moves them to the trash. There's 4 patterns showing for this filter. When I start to edit, another pattern shows up in the 6th position and the pattern I add is in the 5th.
So it goes from this:
1
2
3
4
to this:
1
2
3
4
new pattern
6
I have more patterns that should be showing.

Is it possible to delete a self made lable from the list and is it possible to change a lable. If I only want to set te forground color of a lable is that possible.

If I take a risk and run now for my main mailer with the bleeding edge or with the beta 2 when its released will I be able to easily move to the released platform ?
In earlier versions of Mozilla mail the code at beta was stable, reliable and published for a long time. Many people used it for main purposes. Its tempting.
