[opensuse] default (or reset) main thunderbird passwd
Hello :-) first mail from 11.2 :-) I just installed 11.2 (from live cd). I also installed thunderbird (3.0b4). I (as always) linked .thunderbird to the old .thunderbird on my old home. all is well, except that the new thunderbird have a master passwd installed, when I never used one! of course I don't know what it is. is there any default master pass, or how can I remove this (th esk for the old pass if I want to remove the old) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This description is a bit weird. A master password is profile related. Not TB version related. So if you get a master password prompt from TB3 and not from TB2 using the same profile this is very weird. The master password is used to unlock the private key store in your profile and by default there is none unless you set it explicitely. Changing a master password is possible if you have the old password only. That didn't answer all your questions but I don't understand your issue fully.

Sorry, but the TB in 11.2 does not have the password set. If you want to use a master password then you have to deliberately set it yourself (like in all previous versions). What do you mean by "I ... linked .thunderbird to the old .thunderbird on my old home"? Via a symlink, or what? Why not just simply copy ~/.thunderbird across to the new installation and be done with it? No "linking" is required. I have been doing this for years without any problems - but it would pay to recheck the Edit/Preferences settings as there has been at least one change in 3.ob which was pointed out to me today.
