Hi Peter,
btw: i like mozilla/thunderbird too. Especially because it works across operating systems (i share my profile partially with windows via smbolic links). And imap support in kmail never did work.
... cool. I'll give that a try. :-)
Sharing thunderbird is actually very simple. The basic thing you need to have is a profile where you can read/write to. A fat32 partition is the common denominator. And it should be mounted. For thunderbird: - Create/have a profile for windows with all email-adresses defined. - Create/have a profile in linux with all email adresses defined (If you have one of those you can also copy_chown it for other users) - In Linux go to thunderbirds Account Settings (for each address) -> Server settings Change the local directory to point from ~/.thunderbird to the proper folder in windows. So for me to: /windows/D/mozilla/peter/thunderbird/Mail/pop.xs4all.nl - I normally create a sepaate folder per email address, so i also have to change the local folder for the Account Settings-> 'Local Folders' So for me to: /windows/D/mozilla/peter/thunderbird/Mail/Local Folders - The i create a symbolic link for two files in linux to windows. i.e. for: * abook.mab (to share my address book) * training.dat (to share my spam training) I got the basic idea a long time ago from this website http://www.mozhilfe.de/mozfaq_profil_winlinux.php
What i dislike is the gtk/ font problems that occur now and then.
... I use the XiG X server which has its own font stuff mostly. It works great and I don't have the font problems. I used to have them too when using Xorg and Xfree86. So I know what you're talking about.
This is something for me to test. And very new also.... Peter
