The "early" password prompt is to fix multiple prompts being popped up, it's not to lock the application, although we did discuss making it that wayF22 Simpilot wrote: ↑2019-10-04, 10:50I was happy that you made it so that at first launch Interlink asks for a password unlike Thunderbird, but if I click cancel I can go right in and read emails.

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
Take a look at Master Password+ It's for Pale Moon only for now, but maybe you could change the application ID and try it with Interlink. It can be set to prevent access if the password is not entered, lock the browser after a time period, etc.F22 Simpilot wrote: ↑2019-10-04, 10:50I was happy that you made it so that at first launch Interlink asks for a password unlike Thunderbird, but if I click cancel I can go right in and read emails.

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
I dunno.. Do you want it to be able to close when you hit cancel? It will be a separate pref disabled by default. Of course, you have to understand that this is not a real security feature as anyone sitting at the console can just edit your prefs file and bypass it. It would have to be that way anyway cause you'd need a manual way to bypass it if something with the master password fucked up.
As Moonchild, indicated, early prompt for master password is just a hack to avoid race conditions.

Just wanted to say 'keep up the good work' to New Tobin Paradigm. I wish that I had found Interlink initially, rather than ClawsMail. ClawsMail is fine, but Interlink is vastly superior.
Additionally, Interlink's compatibility with Bamboo Feed Reader is awesome. Now I can easily check my RSS feeds whenever I am checking my e-mail!

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
You can check RSS feeds without any extension. Also, applications aren't compatible with extensions.. Extensions are compatible with applications.

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
Indeed. I'm also not an extremely techie-type person, so I'm not always on point with my phrasing or descriptions of technical stuff.
In this case, though, I meant that, since the extension has been offered for a number of things (all of XUL or XUL-like base, probably), that I was glad that Interlink works with it too (or, as you said, 'it works with Interlink too'). Probably not the most accurate from a technical perspective, but I was just speaking colloquially there.
I didn't mean to irk anyone by my imprecise/inaccurate phrasing.
How does one do this? I remember that screenshot of your setup that showed Pale Moon forums posts somehow. That would be neat to have.
No need to tell me if it would be too much trouble. It isn't a necessity.

1. Either manually: go to Menu/Edit/Account Settings/Add Account.../Blogs & News Account (and then configure its settings/subscriptions)
2. or via Pale Moon: when you land on a feed, press on the orange RSS icon in the address bar ("Subscribe to this page..."), select the appropriate RSS feed and in the "Subscribe to this feed using..." selector, choose Interlink.

Moonbat, I have delt with him directly. Please don't assume he is some poor newb who doesn't know any better.
Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
Noticed a strange problem - when clicking 'new account' - it doesn't ask what type of account to add and straightaway assumes I want to add an NNTP account (I already have one configured). Seen this both from File->New account and clicking 'Add account' in the accounts settings window.

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
Have any of you tried using multiple accounts, for example, one gmail and one outlook?
I tried this the other day and it seems that Interlink select one setting for the outgoing server and apply it to both accounts? Can anyone try see if they can reproduce this? Try any two email accounts with different outgoing server settings

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
You have to create different outgoing servers for each account. In "Account Settings", you define which outgoing server is going to be used in your account's name section, the one above "Server Settings".fatboy wrote: ↑2019-10-10, 06:26Have any of you tried using multiple accounts, for example, one gmail and one outlook?

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
Yes, I have and it works fine. When you create a new Mail account, it will auto-select the "Default" SMPT server which of course will be wrong. It doesn't magically detect the correct one and for some reason, there has to be a default one. You simply have to manually select the correct SMPT server (assuming you have first created it) for each new Mail account.
If you are saying that it switches back on a wrong SMPT server on its own, overriding your own setting, then that's something else which I've never seen happen. Try Safe Mode (Help/Restart with Add-ons disabled).

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
In Interlink I tried to set tabs on tob with toggling "mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar" in about:config from false to true as it works in Thunderbird - but nothing changed. Is it possible to set tabs on top or get rid of the titlebar to save space on a small screen
Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
No. Try getting a larger screen, instead.
Additionally, Interlink is specifically designed to not include the bullshit Firefoxisms that Thunderbird has amassed over the past decade.
Don't like it, don't use it cause it ain't going back.

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
You could save some screen space by not using tabs. Costs less than a new screen...

I think he needs a new screen, I think he needs several new screens.. If not, I do.
Give me more money so I can get more screens.

Re: The Official Interlink Mail & News Discussion Thread
I had mentioned this earlier - the new account wizard isn't letting me choose the type of account and directly assumes I want to set up an NNTP server. I already have 2 mail and 2 newsgroup accounts configured.
Seen after the latest update as well.
