[Bug 543968] New: avoid feature regressions for Thunderbird
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543968 Summary: avoid feature regressions for Thunderbird Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 7 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE Thunderbird 3.0b4 comes with a new very nasty feature regression: The inboxes of different accounts can not be seperated (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516884, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520243). Nonetheless this unfortunately is not the only feature regression: Since Thunderbird 3.0 it has not been possible any more to select the default browser (f.i. Konqueror instead of Firefox): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514826, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389732. Since most people do mind (hate) feature regressions but are rarely overwhelmed by new features I would suggest to ship RC1 with Thunderbird 2.x and keep this until both bugs become resolved upstreams!

Thunderbird 3.0b4 comes with a new very nasty feature regression: The inboxes of different accounts can not be seperated (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516884, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520243).
It's just that the default view changed. You still can switch the UI to show every mailbox separated. I'm doing that myself.

That is supposed to work. As you can see the upstream bugs are fixed.

I don't see any of the bugs you mentioned above as unresolved. Please be specific with the regressions you still see and describe them exactly. I propose to open separate bugs for them -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
