The Sent folder inside Thunderbird is created right now. I have duplicates for Trash, Sent and Drafts inside Inbox (and it's the only thing that is in the Inbox for now). The problem seems to be, the server has a different folder structure without those duplicates and when I try to do

Did you mayhaps move the inbox as a subfolder to sent or vice versa?

Thanks for the suggestions. For some reason some of those suggested, like LyX, weren't showing up at first for me in the repository. Eventually, after a reboot, it fixed itself; I guess. I ended up installing Texmaker and LyX to try, and I also installed Kate, which I didn't realize had

If that is the case, that really sucks becuase FAT32 is everywhere and supported on old operating systems that people still use like Windows XP, supported on cameras and video game consoles, and of course modern Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. The sad reality is that people want things to

It also seems easy to code around if that's all it is. There are lots of other file system formats that are free. And why any Linux-kernel-based device would choose FAT32 for its default file format seems very odd to me. I would expect ext3 or ext4 to be used. I wonder why that choice was

Lyx is very user friendly, but bear in mind that it creates files using its own open format which unfortunately isn't backward compatible (i.e. might not work on older version of Lyx) - of course you can always export to .tex to use with a different editor . Gummi shows a preview of the text

I do not think [digital media] demand a completely new framework for how it's governed. The copyright law is appropriate. It would however need some fixes such as making it expire quicker (e.g., 10 years after the first publication instead of the current 70 years after the death of all main

Patents are everywhere. There are tons of patents on various formats like video and audio. It is unlikely you would be able to avoid them. Software patents shouldn't be valid.

Why is Microsoft doing this? Because it's a company rotten to the bone. Here's some dirt on them http://web.archive.org/web/20110519051938/http://msversus.org/ And that archive doesn't contain the new crimes, like ooxml and the uefi business.

This is a great movie, I watched it a couple of years ago and it really points out the flaws in the patent system, especially in the case of software. I am not surprised by this though, just more of the same from MS.
