I always equated Microsft and its big buisness screw consumers with republicans... Apple and its paternal closed Apple is god unlicensed bios to the democrats.

Just another option to think about.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Check out <A HREF="http://myviewmytake.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">My Take!</A>Larry Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10410888271316545805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-74658652647991700862008-10-25T07:14:00.000-04:002008-10-25T07:14:00.000-04:00One final comment... with Paul's method, I <I>do</I> have to use the tray icon to minimize TB to the tray and restore it. If I use the "close window" button, guess what? ...it closes the window (and the entire application).eyemeansithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08657658802503538585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-73802900165259750562008-10-24T07:42:00.000-04:002008-10-24T07:42:00.000-04:00I agree that Kontact/Kmail does an excellent job, and likely will be better yet in KDE 4.x.(or perhaps already is). But as I said, I've been wanting to try Thunderbird for ages, especially now that you can integrate the Lightning calendar as a plug-in. How would I know which was better without giving the competition a try? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!eyemeansithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08657658802503538585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-19826134799314857482008-10-24T07:32:00.000-04:002008-10-24T07:32:00.000-04:00My issue with importing very likely came from my (hopefully) past habit of distro-hopping, going back and forth from KDE 3.5.9 to 4.0, and back again in multiple distros. What it accomplished over the months and years was a huge conglomeration of very confusing files in my mail directory. I found them, though!eyemeansithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08657658802503538585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-53598293112391525962008-10-24T07:17:00.000-04:002008-10-24T07:17:00.000-04:00Thanks Paul!<BR/><BR/>Simpler is better. I did not know that feature was there in the KDE Menu Editor. Thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>By the way, my username at MepisLovers is "eyemeansit" I believe. Haven't posted there for awhile, but I've been lurking again recently!<BR/><BR/>I will edit this post to point to your comment. Thanks again.eyemeansithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08657658802503538585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-82657289702616260732008-10-24T03:34:00.000-04:002008-10-24T03:34:00.000-04:00Hi Les,<BR/>I came by your blog after reading a comment on Pastor Ron's. As an easier alternative (rather than installing alltray), simply edit the Thunderbird entry in your kmenu, and make sure the "Place In System Tray" box is ticked. Make sure you save the menu changes before exiting the entry! Next time you run TBird, the icon automatically appears in the tray. To miminise to the tray, simply click the icon in the tray. The nice thing is that you can do this with any app that you want handy - as long as it has an entry in your kmenu.<BR/>Brooko<BR/>PS - I see you're using Mepis 8. Hopefully we'll see you at the MepisLovers Community forums some time.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03920707785706927925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-1346285131720237602008-10-23T22:49:00.000-04:002008-10-23T22:49:00.000-04:00Having, in the remote past, migrated from Thunderbird to Kmail, I would not recommend anyone to follow your example. Kontact/Kmail does an excellent job, from my point of view at least.aegosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10348888052173392467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-52610556002458429932008-10-23T22:46:00.000-04:002008-10-23T22:46:00.000-04:00I have never even tried importing, I just copy the mailbox directory structure over from my backup. The only problem I can recall is that Kmail then thinks every email is unread.aegosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10348888052173392467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-25022241016837577182008-10-09T01:16:00.000-04:002008-10-09T01:16:00.000-04:00Is it an Actiontec GT701? If so, they really don't like ipv6. For awhile I thought you'd just have to blacklist the module, since most distributors aren't building it into the kernel anymore. But in at least some distributions, I've found a need to still use the following in my modprobe.conf<BR/><BR/>alias net-pf-10 off<BR/><BR/>But some distributions like Ubuntu don't have issues with ipv6, go figure. Fedora, Arch, and some others are very slow.mfsalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01961154269417418851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15856972.post-1587566947436428992008-10-08T22:37:00.000-04:002008-10-08T22:37:00.000-04:00Screenshots?Shamilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13995379414958384063noreply@blogger.com
