Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0 out


Recommended Posts

Has Thunderbird 2 finally fixed the major bug of POP servers timing out when trying to send mail? Everytime I try to send a message from my GMail inbox via Thunderbird, it times out and never sends.

Can't say that I've ever had this issue and I have two Gmail accounts.

Radish?

Radish™

Hmm... That's weird. I've never had a problem with my IMAP accounts, only POP accounts. (And yes, my GMail settings were correct.)

It still has the problem of downloading multiple copies of the same RSS feed items. I'm not sure if its because its on my laptop and I'm moving between home and my university (one has a proxy server, one doesn't), but it's still there and it's still as annoying as ever x)

someone needs to do something (extension or anything else) to block yahoo group garbage from displaying in thunderbird. Or maybe a way to see eails in html or txt only format that would not have the ads/junk part.

That is how thebat works and the only reason why I still use it as I'm a big yahoo groups user.

Beside that, thunderbird is a wonderful piece of software!

Seems much the same as Thunderbird 1.5 apart from the UI. The UI seems somewhat "brighter/lighter" than before.

My only complaint would be that they have changed the junk mail icon. They did the same with the padlock icon in Firefox. I don't get it. Why change an icon everyone (techy or not) recognises and instantly knows the meaning of?

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
