It can be quite a task to run Thunderbird on more than one computer and even running Thunderbird on one computer with more than one mail account can cause some problems. Filters are one of them. Mail filters can be global filters that filter all incoming mails or mail account filters which only filter mails that are send to the account in question.
The Thunderbird has landed
A new version of the popular email client Thunderbird is available on the public Mozilla ftp site. No announcement yet on the official Thunderbird website and the update function from within Thunderbird is also not picking up this new version yet. The version on the official Mozilla Thunderbird website still lists version 2.0.0.6.
Detach Thunderbird Attachments
Thunderbird saves the attachments together with the mail message which means that the mailboxes can grow rapidly if you regularly receive large attachments. This slows down Thunderbird eventually and could also pose a storage problem if you use the default profile location to store your emails.
Backup To Email
When I first read about Backup to Email I thought that surely no one wanted to backup files and folders to email. I never thought that email would make a good backup alternative for backing up large files and folders considering file size limitations and upload speeds of the own Internet connection.
Get a @live.com email
Email collectors behold ! Microsoft is finally making @live.com IDs available to the public. The whole signup process is heavily interactive and Ajax like elements pop up all the time giving information and links to further information.
Firebug can make Gmail slow
If you use Firebug and visit Gmail you receive a message “Firebug is known to make Google Mail slow unless it is configured correctly” which was not known by me. Google suggests to disable Firebug for the Google domain completely which should not be a huge problem normally.
Mails sent with BCC did not reach recipients ?
Emails can be send to several recipients at once by using the CC or BCC fields which send a Carbon Copy or Blind Carbon Copy to the recipients listed there. Using the BCC option is useful if you want that every recipient is only able to see his email address and not the email of everyone else who receives a message.
