Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird sucks by Lynne Ox

Thunderbird used to be fantastic. I have the feeling it is suffering from the same malady as Gnome – sabotage by M$ plants. I really can’t think of a better reason for great products to suddenly become so crappy in the same way that M$ has always been crappy.
Evolution has become more enticing, although I don’t need all that it provides.

While I didn’t read your post, I’m glad you wrote this because this probably gives the git zealots and Linus worshippers a heartattack and foam from their mouth.

Would ‘chillun’ be acceptable?

This was very easy to understand, using hibernate_core v3.3.1 the “BOOLEAN” type could not be resolved.

Hi,
Would it be ok to put the source up on GitHub or similar?

Cheers

Thanks for sharing, I was actually wondering where would be best to put the star. I preferred the first option and after reading your post I’m happy to go for it.

This has been a pain in the backside for me as a beginner to C. Looking over example code is confusing when there is two different variations used. For me, the original C style is better.

I always thought that plural of “people” was “people” until I read Kofi Annan’s report “we the peoples”

Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird sucks by Sigmund Snøløs

Yeah, Agreed it is bad – In the way they handle e-mail accounts. I just wanted my new one to work, and it would not sort of swtich new both pop and smtp servers, even thou I sat the new account as a standard, hoping to have all the new connections in order, but just the new smtp server would change from the old setup, So i needed to get rid of the old I thought, and deleted it in hope it would be able to use the new account entirely. – But then all the old mails got vanished as well…. surprise, I thought the mails would be intact afterwards, but noooo. And it was also freaking almost impossible to get the old stuff to work, I had to then start the automatically install, then abort it while it was working, and then change the numbers of the ports, then it would work, Not if I sat it up manually.. So troublesome to setup accounts in that e-mail client. But, it was swift and accurate to do setup the new account, It did what it was supposed to in that regard, only a bit of a nasty surprise it got to delete all of my old messages.
