Working Great

Unread post by Sarris » 2013-12-28, 20:36

I switched from Thunderbird to MailNews x64 and now to FossaMail x64. I have 15 add-ons.

All is working without issues and seems to be the fastest and smoothest of the three to date.

Thanks MC.

Add-ons/Get Add-Ons seems pointing to a broken link.

Odd, I thought I had already converted all relevant paths.
Which link exactly is it?

EDIT: really strange. seems it overrides the branding prefs with predefined global prefs. That's bad.

Just open the Add-Ons manager and go to Get Add-ons. The pane will not show up and there's the message "When you're connected to the internet, this pane will feature...".

For whatever reason it ignores user-set prefs and branding prefs (overriding the latter with thunderbird "all" prefs).
Seems to be a bug in the load order of preferences files... :thumbdown:

Looks like I'll have to set a number of prefs globally.

Thanks for letting me know.
