I'm having terrible luck with Thunderbird (under Linux) in recent
months. It seems v5.0 is no exception.
[Admittedly, Thunderbird has given me good service for years]
eg: Yesterday, I switch desktop environments just to check something
out... a simply logged out of JWM (my default window manager), changed
GDM to use Razor (or Cinnamon) as my desktop environment for my next
login... I then logged into my account, an ran Thunderbird... Suddenly
ALL my last read and last downloaded message in various newsgroup
accounts are reset. Everything is marked as unread, and suddenly nothing
has been downloaded for offline reading/searching (previous downloaded
messages are suddenly lost). I fixed it by downloading all messages
again, and marked everything as read. Switch back to JWM, and suddenly
the exact same thing happens!!!! WTF!!
Later versions of Thunderbird didn't allow me to save attachments. I had
to double click attachments to open them in whatever program, and then
save them using that program. Telling Thunderbird to "Save to file"
didn't raise any errors, but also didn't save anything. :-(
It's things like this that drive me to implementing my own applications.
I've done this in the past, and it seems an Email/News client will
follow shortly.
