[opensuse] Very strange thunderbird behavior
A couple of weeks ago, I did a Yast2 update of my 12.1 system. Thunderbird was updated to v12. thought I saw some strange behavior, but was away for awhile. Sometimes my emails show up in the message list. Sometimes they don't, but I can see them if I click on the 'unread' button. More annoying is that, frequently, the Inbox shows 1 message, and the 'unread' button shows something with no title or text and a data of 12/31/1969. It does not delete, but I can move to Trash or Junk. Later, I get it again. I have tried deleting the Inbox.msf file and letting TBird recreate it; and also compressing the folder. Eventually, the weird message comes back again. There were some other problems along the way, but I seem to have gotten past them. I reinstalled the previous 11.0.1 version; it had other problems and was worse. Mail comes into /var/spool/mail/<name> and I use 'movemail' to get it into thunderbird. (I am the only one on the computer). I have not seen a bugzilla or any message on the web about this situation. What to do?

there is a version 12.0.1 which is available in the mozilla repository. It has a few bugfixes and one related to movemail. While I'm not sure this is what you see it would be interesting to hear if it helps. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748726 Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
The newest version appears to have resolved the problems. Thank you. JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
What version? What repo should I be getting my Thunderbird from on 12.1?
