No not the Gerry Anderson one, sadly. But the pile of crap that Mozilla has released as the update to Thunderbird 3. No I’m not sure what happened to 4 either.
- Inbox keeps crashing, no idea why.
- Basic plugins don’t work – why the hell can’t you navigate from one read email to another?
- Can’t compose emails properly, seriously, unable to add subject to recipient is kinda needed for an email client
- Looks pretty horrible as well, no color at all for the button icons makes them hard to distinguish
So anyone know of a decent alternative?
Effing load of shit, pile of crap that this is has just lost 5 months of sodding work emails – I am not bloody amused.
So I’ve upgraded to version 3.
Mine at least worked and didn’t lose anything. I just got fed up with an error going back some way, muttering that the Inbox had been corrupted by complying with my message filters, and that I needed to delete the inbox.msf … over and over again. I’ve also returned to 3.1.11 – which seems to be the consensus solution to a pretty wide variety of problems with Tbird 5!
Perhaps we should’ve all remembered that v3 wasn’t broken, so we shouldn’t have tried fixing it?!
I had that as well.
Don’t know if anyone else had a popup to upgrade to 5 today or not… I did. I do hope I don’t get spammed by reminders for something I do not want.
Alarmingly bad, and mean really f***ing terrible.
When I try replying to an email it don’t just allow me to type a response. No. I have to select an email account – why? The message was sent to one email account, the one I am replying from.
Then I can’t click in the body content area for a weirdly rendered version of the mail I am replying to. (This seems to be an image that I’m being prompted to paste).
I suspect this is all to offer me a level of control I have no interest in.
I just want to reply to my email simply and quickly.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
