A bit OT, but you asked :-) AFAIK, Mozilla's email and Thunderbird share some kind of underlying codebase but at the very least the look-and-feels are quite different. Having said that, I use mozilla mail daily with nary a hiccup, but the last time I tried Thunderbird (say 6 months ago) all it did was core dump. Couldn't reply to an email, couldn't browse large folders and I gave up at that point. So, while at some level they may be the same, at least in the past they were different enough to matter. Mozilla mail and Thunderbird do not share executables; it's just the source that the executables are compiled from should be somewhat shared. hth, --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Thunderbird + Mozilla Suite
I routinely use firefox 1.0.7 and thunderbird 1.0.6 on FreeBSD 6.0 Release (both built from the ports in the ISO images). They work quite nicely together. Clicking URLs in mails in thunderbird brings up the page in firefox in a new tab. Clicking mailto: links in a webpage in firefox opens a mail composer window in thunderbird. If the other program isn't running already, it's started automatically. I didn't do anything special to tell firefox and thunderbird about each other. As far as I could see during the build process, they have a whole lot of common code of the mozilla platform, but these are bundled independently in each source tarball and built separately by each one with no shared binaries anywhere during the build process. The installations seem to be located differently for firefox and for thunderbird in the following directories respectively: /usr/X11R6/lib/thunderbird/lib/thunderbird-1.0.6/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/ I could be wrong, but this suggests to me that I can probably install thunderbird 1.5 without clobbering my thunderbird 1.0.6 installation, while installing firefox 1.5 will probably clobber my firefox 1.0.7 installation. In any case my 1.5 builds fail. Chandan Alex Zbyslaw wrote: Duane Whitty wrote: (Aside: I thought the mozilla-suite built in email program was essentially thunderbird?

Re: Thunderbird + Mozilla Suite
By the way, just in case someone is interested, I also could set up to use the same mail folders in thunderbird and the same bookmarks in firefox irrespective of whether I use these programs under FreeBSD or Windoze. Setting a few links in my home dir in FreeBSD is all that it takes with my Windows partitions mounted as msdosfs. I find this a VERY useful thing since my system is primarily a desktop and I sometimes cannot avoid running Windows, but still want to see the same bookmarks and mail folders. Can post more details if anyone needs it. Chandan Chandan Haldar wrote: I routinely use firefox 1.0.7 and thunderbird 1.0.6 on FreeBSD 6.0 Release (both built from the ports in the ISO images).
