Installed 2.0.0.0 over 1.5.0.10 and now Thunderbird won’t start. WinXP SP2. Click on the icon, and I get an hourglass for less than a second. I’ve removed profile, uninstall, clear %TEMP%, reboot, reinstall. On startup, it offers to import settings, but then nothing. Safe mode is no different. What else can I try? Arrgh!

John.

Hi,

I’ve installed thunderbird 2 on a fresh system and surprisingly I can’t shut down thunderbird. It would restarts itself straight away and uses up nearly all the CPU capacity. Really annoying because I can’t do anything else with my computer. Had to reboot to safe mode so that I could remove thunderbird

Good day,
I often suffering from my need to use slow internet connections as per example GPRS. It’s than often random to access the SMTP server of my e-mail provider. I would appreciate if Thunderbird would try to connect to the mail server continously instead of annoying me with a message that the smtp server, pop3 server or imap hasn’t been reachable. If there is a slow connection this happens sometimes.
Kind regards
Gerhard

Also, in the options window some of the options cannot be seen because the Window is improperly sized.

Thunderbird still has an issue with saved emails but now instead of getting the “c is not a registered protocol” when I open up a saved email, I now get thunderbird opening up another window of itself and the saved email does not open at all. I completely wiped thunderbird out of my PC, re-installed it again and tried opening up my saved emails and still the same issue comes up where I cannot open my saved emails using it. I’ve even made it my default email program and still having the same issue.

kokamomi – It means that you can now use Thunderbird on Vista and you can now use Thunderbird on 64-bit versions of Windows.

“Windows Vista and 64-bit Windows is now supported”

Nice, but (always bitching):

1. lost ability to mouseclick on folder list order title (unread, favorites, recent, all) which used to cycle through them;

2. alert mail popup times out before I have a chance to read it. Might be better to keep this dialog active while mouse is inside it.

3. Calendar still sucks (can’t send email notification to self about appointment);

4. Palm sync sucks (what I can get working at all).

The good news – it’s still far better than Outlook, particularly with IMAP which in Outlook is an unmitigated disaster.
