MailNews 16.0.1 x64 takes my Thunderbird profiles

Post by KNTRO » 2013-03-28, 10:10

Hi there,

I have installed Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bits and gave MailNews a try, so installed it. However, it took only a few second to meet an issue — MailNews uses the same profiles I use with Thunderbird!! Why?!

I have "stable" profiles in Thunderbird, profiles for everyday usage, with important info. I'd like to use a testing profile in MailNews, different ones and far away from my Thunderbird profiles. Could you fix this in order to not interfere profiles between both email clients?

Oh, and here's a little suggestion for naming this email client: What about Pale Mail instead of MailNews? Pale Mail has the same number of characters as Pale Moon and sounds very similar as well. ;)

Thanx.
