A comment on the idea "Calendar integration and support in Postbox" in Postbox, Inc.:

When I updated Postbox to v1.1 Beta 1, I was asked to update Lightning as well, which is now 0.9.3 when I look at the Add-on from within Postbox. It was all an automated process. – Tim Samoff, on November 06, 2009 14:27

Looks like everything is working after a couple of days of waiting.

How to reset DM limit after being hacked

DM limit reached during yesterday's phishing hackfest and now I can't DM at all. Is there a way to reset my DM limit? Or someone I can contact about it?

Thank you!

A comment on the question "Is there an option to temporary disable an email account?" in Postbox, Inc.:

Ok, this doesn't completely work, as it takes you _so_ offline that you can't view mail anymore (IMAP). So, a more elegant solution would definitely be appreciated. – Tim Samoff, on September 09, 2009 18:20

I just realized that adding something like "null" to the incoming server settings will achieve this. Pretty GUIs are better, but this works. – Tim Samoff, on September 08, 2009 14:09

I would love to be able to do this. I have an account setup that I don't "use." What I mean is, all mail is routed through GMail and then delivered to Postbox. But, I don't want to delete the account that originates the email (it's useful for periodically expunging the original server without having to open my browser).

This can be done (as I do with iCal) by syncing your Calendar app to Google Calendar. Lightning syncs everything to Google. This will sync iCal to Google:

This becomes especially important now that people (like me) are using Google Voice. Having to wait for a browser to open, then sign into Google, etc. really breaks the user-flow.

Of course, Google may not avail the api for actually doing this, but if they do, it would be a really nice feature.

To/CC/BCC address fields can benefit from some better UX design.

To/CC/BCC address fields can benefit from some better UX design:

1. Deleting an address letter-by-letter works fine... Until you delete the last letter (first letter of the address). Hit delete again and the cursor shifts up to the From address. So, blindly hitting delete multiple times shifts the cursor up and, if one is not watching, they begin to delete the From address as well.

2. When deleting addresses from an email where there are multiple addresses, the other addresses in the list do not shift "up." I.e., many blank To/CC/BCC fields are left in the email list. This doesn't break email sending by any means, but it does make it hard to scroll through the list of emails and see what addresses actually exist. It would be nice if deleting an address shifted all remaining addresses up so that there are no "blank" spots left.

3. Copying/pasting multiple email addresses into a To/CC/BCC field works fine with a comma-delineated list, but not a semicolon-delineated list. Since a lot of email "clients" reply/forward lists like this with semicolon-delineation, this feature would be helpful.

4. When viewing an email that was sent to multiple recipients, there is no way to copy addresses from the email body by selecting them (click/drag) -- unless you view the source. It would be nice to be able to select email addresses like this, rather than replying to all and deleting the unwanted email addresses.

Thanks!
