I had a few people suggest using Thunderbird as an email client. I
downloaded version
0.9 from here
www.sunfreeware.com
and tried to configure it but it won't load my Inbox for some reason
says it can't communicate
with mail server.
When I setup Mozilla 1.7 Mail it automatically imported my mail from my
Unix Mail
Tool somehow.
In Mozilla Mail my mail is stored here
/home/martini/.mozilla/martini/njbrktar.slt/Mail/Local Folders
Do I need to tell Thunderbird where to import my messages from?
Thunderbird has my mail here
/.thunderbird/wbcm9udt.default/Mail/Local Folders
But there is nothing in the Inbox.
When I click on Get Messages it says it can't communicate with the mail
server.
Below is my original question:
I'm evaluating using Mozilla mailtool. I had been using Sun's Mailtool GUI.
Sun's mailtool would automatically check for new mail periodically due
to sendmail
daemon running on my host.
1. Can Mozilla mail do that? I have to hit Control/T to have it update
my new messages now.
2. When I receive emails with PDF documents attached I get the pop up
box that asks what
application should be used to open the document. I have adobe acrobat
reader installed
and Sun's mailtool would automatically launch it when I clicked on a pdf
file withing
Sun's mailtool but Mozilla mail asks me each time. Do I need to put
acrobat reader
in the plugins folder? I can browse to the location of adobe acrobat
reader and then the
pdf opens but the checkbox that says "always use this action" is
dehilighted and I can't
check it for some reason.
3. How do I enable messages to show up in my sent messages folder?
4. Are there better Solaris email clients?
Thanks much to all the Mozilla mail experts!!!
