Thanks Ken! That works out great for what I need to do, and even though it takes a little longer its easier for them to set up their own preference! Thanks so much.

A little more information could help out. How is it not working? Is it launching? Is it giving an error message? Does it not connect to any sites?

Also, one random fix might be, uninstall and reinstall. But most likely you won't need to do that.

Hi,

You can create a filter to do this, go to the top menu bar and select Tools >Message Filters...

In the new window click new.

In this new window you can name the filter (so something like blocked<email> and then fill out how you want thunderbird to filter (maybe from, is, and then the email) Then at the bottom you can select the action, like delete or move to a junk folder.

Hope that helps!</email>

Oops, sorry, but yes something like that was what I had found. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_me... is the link. The thing is, they are on OS X 10.5 while I am running Windows Vista (currently my apple laptop is out of action). I was hoping there was a work around other then this though

When I disabled the notification it seems to have fixed the problem as well! Thanks for that second fix!

Sounds great! When is the estimated time of v1.2 coming out?

Great, I was wondering if the BSD (blue screen of death) was an IRQL_Less_or_Equal (usually a driver issue). But glad to hear it is working out for you

Hey, now I am by no means an expert but I would like to help you out. That is if the problem is still there (noticed this was posted 5 months ago!) But what you could try to do is to remove start up programs, run disk defrag (the vista version isn't the best, but it will do). Those are just a few things, just for basic up keep.

If you could get what the blue screen error is that could help. Also if the HDD is making noises like it is about to die (scratching, grinding, etc) then that might be the reason it is taking so long to load. Let me know if you still have this problem though and I will try my best to help you out.

How To increase font size of thread pane WAS:Enlarging "inbox" text?

I was wondering, is there anyway to make the text for the inbox to be bigger. I can enlarge the message (ctrl +) but I have not been able to find a way to make the text in the "inbox" area to be larger, that is the box directly above the preview area (not sure about specific name). Now I did see a way to do it by going into the system files, but I am trying to help a less tech savvy person, by phone, on how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

Automatic Add/Sort music files

It would be great if we could have Songbird Automatically sort the file library library. This is in reference to iTunes's ability to automatically sort a folder (usually under music/iTunesMusic or something) when you just drop music into the library to be added. Now I have my music on different computers and this is a great feature to use when I am updating my music on one computer from another. It save me time trying to keep everything where I can find it easily. So what I am suggesting is a way to just have songbird copy the music you drop onto the library and then link to the newly copied music which would be inside a specified sorted location.

Now if there is a feature like this I am going to feel stupid :-P

Awesome, I was just about to ask about this bug! Should let the created of the add on know ;)

Ryan started following the idea "Need more global hotkeys" in Songbird.

Ryan replied on March 16, 2009 19:55 to the idea "More Hotkeys" in Songbird:

I would like to add a note to this topic. Now I go between OS X, Vista and Ubuntu and have run into many different things that I like with programs here and there. Personally I love Mozilla's software. But there is something I would love to see in SongBird when it comes to hotkeys.

There is a secondary program called quicktunes (only for OS X I think) that allows you to set commands to do diffrent things to iTunes no matter what window you are in. For example I can set cmnd+right arrow to skip to next song, but i can use that even if I am working in Firefox, MS Word or whatever. I think this would be great to use in songbird!

Those are my two cents.
