What mailbox are you referring to? The Local folders used as fallback,
e.g. for Unsent Mail / Send Later. I think, you can delete all address
book. at least, you can via prefs.js - check out the default prefs
(mailnews.js) for details.

You mean, you want them to scroll? I can understand that - maybe it will
be implemented later.

Oh, yes. That's a bug I don't like at all, too. In fact, I tried to fix
it, without success so far. I know the problem, but not where exactly it
manifests itself. I hope, this bug will be fixed for 1.0.

No.
Although I personally faught long time for plaintext mails (note that
Beonex defaults to *sending* plaintext), I also believe that the
plaintext composer is outdated, even for plaintext mails, as long as you
don't want to compose ASCII-art (in the broadest sense).
Example: Beonex supports format=flowed, i.e. even plainetxt mails don't
have hard linewraps, which helps a lot at rewrapping quotes, which in
turn helps against long lines or "embarrasing line wrap". But, how to
you want to keep the flowing information in the plaintext composer? Not
possible (at least, I don't know how). Solution: HTML-like quotes in the
editor, which are turned into plaintext at sending.
What is the difference between the plaintext and the HTML editor anyway?
The plaintext editor has fewer options and a fixed width font - that's
it bascially.

It is stored in your profile, where user-specific app data is supposed
to go. It's a fault of Windows that it is stored in the Windows folder
*by default*. You can change the path either for Mozilla's profile only
or for the whole WIndows profile.

You can do that, I think. Just run the Profile Manager before Communciator.

On the way.

I know that many people (including myself) don't like this mode of
operation in browsers.
BTW: That mode is not old at all. It is the standard way on Unix, and
several WIndows app employ it, too (e.g. Visual Studio).

If it were that simple, I'm sure it would be implemented.
Note taht you can use different implementations of Java. The
implementation has to provide an OJI plugin. IBM's one does, for
example, IIRC.
