Which version of mozilla are you using? I used to have this problem, but starting with a recent nightly build I don't have any trouble with it at all. I use the File->Offline->Download/Sync Now... to do it. If you are using milestones, I would recommend getting mozilla0.9.9 when it is released. If it is still not fixed, I would be interested in finding out what the issue is and make sure it is filed in bugzilla.

Sounds good, would probably be good to search bugzilla for this and if it isn't filed, file a new feature request for this. > > 2. > How does one keep interesting messages in mozilla (especially keep them > from being deleted by the save-diskspace-runs)? I'm not sure how you could currently do it automatically, but I know you can make a copy of it in local folders and make sure that none of the messages in local folders get deleted. It would be nice to keep messages that are labeled or something like that, we should file a request for this feature in bugzilla if it has not been requested. > > Again, in Agent, one could just type "K" (eep, not kill ;)) on a message > and a lock-icon indicated that this message would not be deleted after > the default storage time, but instead would be kept forever. > (On a collapsed thread "K" would keep the whole thread.) > > What's the equivalent concept in mozilla? hmm interesting, maybe someone who knows mozilla mail and news better can answer this. Maybe something like an extension to the label feature?

I just don't allow moz to delete any messages at all right now ;-). Just look in "Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings" under the edit menu. look for "Offline & Disk Space" under each newsgroup account you have to config this stuff. > > > 3. > And now to something completely different... ;-) > > "Cursor right" expands threads, but "Cursor left" only collapses the > actual thread, when on the first message. > When anywhere inside a thread "Cursor left" just moves up one message, > while "Cursor up" would do the same. > > So, when one is anywhere inside a big thread and decides to move to the > next thread, it is not possible to collapse the actual thread with just > a "cursor left"-tap (the intuitive opposite of the "cursor > right"-expansion), when focused to the cursor-keys (sorry). > > Can I (easily) change this behaviour for me? hmm, will have to check bugzilla and see if this is a bug or a feature. > > > > Any help & hints greatly appreciated! > > I like mozilla really much (well, although the mail&news-client stills > seems to need a lot of polishing ;-)), but it will take me a tough time > to regain my old news-reading-speed, if I can't find any help on the > above topics. Would love to help, I used to use Forte Agent too, now I'm using moz, will see if we can get back the speed ;-). Moz mail is still rather slow, though it has improved alot. I'll post another message when I've searched bugzilla about the issues you have brought up. Maybe you could learn to use bugzilla too ;-) basic > > > Greetings, > > > UW(e) >
