Bryan Clark replied on December 01, 2009 07:47 to the problem "Lowercase text for message labels/buttons" in Mozilla Messaging:

I'm sorry you don't like the new button labels. I believe there was an add-on (which I can't seem to find right now) created to make the buttons capitalized again. Alternatively I think you could edit your personal userChrome.css file with a couple text-transform: capitalize; rules. You should be able to find instructions for that off MozillaZine.

The buttons and labels within the header were chosen to be lowercase because it makes the buttons feel smaller than they are. It's a slight effect but there haven't been real buttons in the header area before this release and the original buttons (capitalized) looked too large inside the header area.

A comment on the idea "Contexts instead of Folders?" in Mozilla Messaging:

pasa, I'd encourage you to check out raindrop and the ideas behind it: https://mozillalabs.com/raindrop/2009... – Bryan Clark, on November 21, 2009 18:02

A comment on the idea "Contexts instead of Folders?" in Mozilla Messaging:

Yes, there is only one indication of Raindrop on this topic. Off to the right hand side in the Products & Services section this topic has the Raindrop product tag. Sometimes topics and be both or either but I believe this one is Raindrop only. I notice the changes because I added the Raindrop product to my Raindrop feeds.

We have a Flickr Design group where Raindrop design discussions are intended to take place. That also houses any mockups and artifacts that are created for Raindrop. – Bryan Clark, on November 19, 2009 20:14

A comment on the idea "Contexts instead of Folders?" in Mozilla Messaging:

I believe the original topic was asking about raindrop which doesn't have the same kind of file size limits as Thunderbird does. Though you make a good point about transferring files over a USB disk being difficult if files are allowed to grow to whatever size needed. I would think that for raindrop you would be better off with a network to transfer instead, already you can sync between two raindrop clients easily. – Bryan Clark, on November 18, 2009 21:17

A comment on the problem ""Unknown Mailbox" error" in Mozilla Messaging:

That seems odd but it's likely that we aren't handling this very well right now. – Bryan Clark, on November 18, 2009 02:14

Awesome list, thanks Sarah!

Bryan Clark replied on November 18, 2009 02:06 to the idea "Contexts instead of Folders?" in Mozilla Messaging:

iamronen: I agree that folders can be a difficult way to organize data. Raindrop doesn't actually create or use folders to organize any of the data. Much more like what you describe we index the messages for meta data about who sent it, the mailing list, domain name, and other data that could help you organize it more efficiently. Mailing lists for instance are automatically organized together by the list data indexed from the message.

I'd actually really like to see more in the area of People that you posted in your mockups. We've been struggling to design something that has a concept of Strangers, Close Contacts and the like. Things like Twitter, Facebook, and Social Networks give you easy tools to organize people by type or disconnect from them and I think we can offer similar tools to email.

Thanks for your post!

Thanks for pointing this out! It should point to: http://groups.google.com/group/raindrop

We've put a fix in on the site and are just waiting for the pages to reload

Bryan Clark replied on October 06, 2009 22:19 to the problem "Can't email photos from Picasa Mac WAS: Grandma can't receive photos of our baby!" in Mozilla Messaging:

I think I saw this in the picasa forums: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p...

Try opening Thunderbird and going to Thunderbird -> Preferences. The first tab should have a "System Defaults" section, click the ( Check Now ) button there and make sure email is selected then press ( OK )

Bryan Clark replied on October 06, 2009 16:59 to the idea "Thunderbird 3 beta 4 has an inconsistent UI for buttons" in Mozilla Messaging:

Hi! We've updated the buttons for the coming (rc1) release. You'll be able to see the change if you try a nightly build right now. bug 465138 has several screenshots of the change and also details how you'll be able to switch between text+icons, text only, and icons only just like in the toolbar.

Bryan Clark started following the question "How to open pdf's using Adobe Reader?" in Mozilla Messaging.

Bryan Clark replied on April 03, 2009 17:27 to the idea "Address Book needs this!" in Mozilla Messaging:

That's a really good idea, it would be great to have something like this

Bryan Clark replied on March 19, 2009 19:13 to the idea "create new signatures inside the thunderbird like outlook express" in Mozilla Messaging:

We're in the process of implementing a simple signature editor inside the account settings right now. Hopefully we'll be able to have multi-signature editing soon after.

A comment on the question "How can I suppress the "To protect your privacy..." prompt?" in Mozilla Messaging:

Ok, I've filed a bug with a possible solution to fixing this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug...

I couldn't find anything else that can help you right now. – Bryan Clark, on March 16, 2009 21:31

Bryan Clark replied on March 16, 2009 21:13 to the question "How can I suppress the "To protect your privacy..." prompt?" in Mozilla Messaging:

Hi! I can imagine this is annoying and a problem on smaller screens like yours. There's no preference setting I'm aware of to make it go away but I'm sure we could work something out to fix this. I'll file a bug for this and see if we can get something moving.

A comment on the idea "Plain vs. HTML email should be wizardized and hidden" in Mozilla Messaging:

Yes, this has been resolved. I don't know where to set that. – Bryan Clark, on March 14, 2009 16:21
