Finally got around to downloading and installing (during a conference call) Thunderbird 1.0<\/a>. Quick, painless install. Had two extensions (Quote Colors<\/a> and Buttons!<\/a>) I had to manually upgrade, but that was pretty trivial.<\/p>\n

The only immediately visible change of significance between T’bird 0.8 (what I was on) and 1.0 is that you can do grouped sorts (like in Outlook 2003). That’s nice.<\/p>\n

Once I run it for a while and it proves stable, I’ll upgrade Margie’s home machine.<\/p>\n

I discovered, in so doing, that MozBackup<\/a> has been discontinued. This was a clever little widget to do intelligently named zip files of the profile directories for Thunderbird and Firefox. Given the snarkiness of the comments<\/a> about its demise (“Well, if folks are having problems with profiles being corrupted, they shouldn’t be relying on a backup and restore tool, they should file a bug report!”<\/em> and “Well, *I* don’t have a problem digging down to the profile directory and making a manual backup, so I don’t see why someone would need a program that does it nicely and neatly for you!”<\/em>), I can understand why the author has dropped the app, but while the process can be fairly simply done manually, it was a nice tool, and I regret seeing someone driven away due to ivory tower myopia. <\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/u>: As always, I’m on the leading edge of innovation! Not!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
