[CGUYS] welcome to thunderbird

2011-08-12 Thread gerald

vista, firefox, tbird, big computer with lots of free space.

once every couple weeks i get a tbird upgrade.  seems even more 
agressive than MS improvements.  i get to the computer in the morning, 
and it's there.  a couple weeks ago, i got a sidebar calendar from 
them.  did not have much use for it, but really did not know how to 
completely delete it.


about tues or wed, got another UG.  few minutes later, got an email that 
wanted display on firefox.  attemped display crashed the computer, 
pretty hard.  after 3 hours of mucking around, and probably doing no 
good at all, i was able to get firefox back up.  could not open tbird.  
went to the thunderbird site to look for reported problems.  saw none.  
google post mentions the calender sidebar causes some problems.


while at the tbird site, i downloaded and then ran the latest tbird.  
all works.  there is no sidebar calender at the moment.

Gerald, the AOL setup isn't really working, and there aren't any regular
users.  You are of course welcome to use the Yahoo setup with most of
the old crew still on there  (to be honest, Tom Piowar has disappeared
or at least is refraining from posting).

The most likely way to get a calendar in T'Bird is to have the Lightning
extension activated or installed.  It can be disabled in the Add-On
section under tools if I remember the Windows version correctly (I
mostly use Thunderbird in Linux, just like I'm doing now)
