Thanks all,

When I go File/ save as/ file/ it does not list the NAS box even though File Browser has it listed. Haven't tried NFS as yet...

trying .gvfs...
gvfs-mount //10.10.1.200/data

gets the following error... (haven't had luck with a googled answer as yet)
Error mounting location: volume doesn't implement mount

So I've done the following...

created a Data folder in my home folder and then as root typed...
mount -t cifs //10.1.1.200/data/ Data
which works in that Thunderbird sees it in the save as dialog box, but not after a reboot.

How do I make this permanent?

Thanks all for your help so far...
Ben

Well, it depends how it is mounted.

If the drive doesn't appear in the places list, then its not a .gvfs share.

I don't know a better way to described it.

The NAS folder neededs to be in a .gvfs (hidden) directory.

After that, things work better.

Somebody else would know more.

 Hi all,

 I have a NAS box and it is visible in Gnome file browser. I can save
 files to it fine.

 When I open Thunderbird and have an attachment to save, I'm only able to
 save to local folders, rather than the NAS drive.

 In thunderbird it has Documents, Music, Videos, etc but no network drive.

 Is there a way in Thunderbird to mount a drive or is there somewhere
 else in Gnome to have a default network location that apps like
 thunderbird use for their places to save?

 (Using Centos)
 Thanks,
 Ben
