Hum for that I don't know. Not out of the box. You'll probably need an extension to do that. Look into FiltaQuilla.

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 26, 2009 05:55 to the question "Saving emails to hard drive." in Mozilla Messaging:

Yes it will.

This feature will even work better in the upcoming 3.0 release.

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 26, 2009 05:53 to the question "I have lost my personal information on the Net" in Mozilla Messaging:

So that depends on how hotmail stores your data and how your email was previously configured.

see http://www.getsatisfaction.com/mozill... on how to configure Thunderbird to use hotmail.

A comment on the question "how do i set up hotmail in thunderbird." in Mozilla Messaging:

incoming is the pop line.
outgoing is the smtp line. – Ludovic Hirlimann, on October 26, 2009 05:53

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 26, 2009 05:49 to the question "Where is the profile and how do i choose a profile? WAS:Windows 7 help" in Mozilla Messaging:

Profiles are located in %APPDATA%, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Folder for how to find it depending on the version of windows you have.

For your second question you need to launch Thunderbird with the -profilemanager option, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Man... for how to do it, replace Firefox with Thunderbird and it will work.

Can you try to download it from http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US... ?

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 24, 2009 12:05 to the question "Is there a message filter that will run an application?" in Mozilla Messaging:

You will need one extension - and she might not do all the things you want. FiltaQuilla is the name of the extension. http://mesquilla.com/extensions/filta... for more information.

What did you use to download Thunderbird ? Mac , Windows, Linux ? Where did you download it from ?

Is thunderbird authorized to connect to the internet ? if not that might be your issue.

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 24, 2009 11:52 to the question "adding multiple e-mail addresses" in Mozilla Messaging:

We display one address per line. so just continue typing on the new line - check the beginning of the line to figure out if that address is to,cc or bcc.

A comment on the problem "Resetting font size in Thunderbird 3.0 beta 4 WAS: Re-setting fonts in Thunderbird v.3.5.3" in Mozilla Messaging:

That's what I thought but wasn't sure so I asked. Glad that you solved it. – Ludovic Hirlimann, on October 23, 2009 18:43

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 23, 2009 13:08 to the question "how I see attachment file size?" in Mozilla Messaging:

Because not everybody as this need.

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 23, 2009 07:01 to the question "Auto-Sync Email to Local Folder" in Mozilla Messaging:

Yes 3.0 is much better. The reason you don't see it is because it's still beta :-)

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 23, 2009 06:44 to the question "Why doesn't my address book appear when the "write" window opens?" in Mozilla Messaging:

When you compose a new message the best way to have the address book is to View -> Contact sidebar. That will let you compose with your address book being handy.

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 23, 2009 06:34 to the problem "Resetting font size in Thunderbird 3.0 beta 4 WAS: Re-setting fonts in Thunderbird v.3.5.3" in Mozilla Messaging:

3.5.3 doesn't exit yet, do you mean 3.0b4 ?

Anyhow in tools -> option -> Advance -> config editor, you might want to play with msgcompose settings.

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 23, 2009 06:29 to the question "how I see attachment file size?" in Mozilla Messaging:

Depending what version of thunderbird you use, you might want to try using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thun....

A comment on the question "how to add an option in right click mouse menu" in Mozilla Messaging:

You'll find plenty of documentation on developer.mozilla.org as for source code any extension is provided with the sources. have a look on add-ons.mozilla.org to find a few. – Ludovic Hirlimann, on October 22, 2009 10:20

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 22, 2009 07:28 to the question "how to add an option in right click mouse menu" in Mozilla Messaging:

Well this is a *very* open question.

If you mean customizing the app - you can't except by adding an extension.

If your question is about creating a new item in a menu then look at the source code of extension already doing it. There are plenty out there that do it. You'll need some knowledge of xul/js/css.

If I didn't answer your question can you please try to explain what you are trying to achieve ?

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 21, 2009 08:23 to the question "Auto-Sync Email to Local Folder" in Mozilla Messaging:

This is a new feature in Thunderbird 3.0 so if you use B4 it will do it automatically.

In Thunderbird 2 you need to subscribe to folder to have them for offline reading. Right click on you account and choose subscribe. Then select the folders you want synched.

My advice would be to switch to RC1 one when it comes out. (b4 as a bug that is now fixed wrt to exchange and autosync)

Ludovic Hirlimann replied on October 21, 2009 08:12 to the question "how to setup newsreader subscription for usenet newsgroup?" in Mozilla Messaging:

Easy - from the file menu choose to create a new account. Choose News. Enter your email and name.

In the news/nttp server enter support.cartweaver.com. press continue etc .. and then close the account manager.

In your list of email account you should now have a one liner called support.cartweaver.com click on it. In the right part of the pane click on Manage newegoup subscriptions. This will give you a list of topic you want to read write about :
* asp
* coldfusion
* ...

Click on one line to do the selection - then press ok. Download the articles and read.

Is that clear ? if not please tell us what you could do and what you couldn't.
