Ok, so I've done a clean install of 10.04 over 9.1 and despite a couple of issues am very impressed. The thing that's currently bugging me most is that I can't set the chat/mail/broadcast panel menu thing to use thunderbird for mail. Is there any way to do this, or do I need to have thunderbird as a separate icon?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have set up postfix and dovecot as per the Ubuntu anual and appear to have a functioning mail server.Using the sendmail command I can send mail and I receive mail in ~/Maildir. Using Thunderbird I can read any mails received but I can't send any mail from Thunderbird. I have tried with both STARTTLS and SSL/TLS and whilst I get the prompt for a password I keep getting the message my password for my server is wrong.I have ports 25, 465, 587 and 993. Is that all the right ports?When I ping my domain name it resolves to my router name whereas I believe it should resolve to my IP. Could there be a problem with my host file? I've had a play but to no avail.Here's the error in mail.log.
Code:
westwood@westwood-desktop:/etc$ tailf /var/log/mail.log

The default colour is grey which is both difficult to read and greyed out items have tended to mean something is not available. How can I can i change the default colour to something much better or am I stuck with extremely poor choice ? Has it something to do with 10.04 .

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat is the default cmdline (!) mail client in Ubuntu?
Normally I use Thunderbird as GUI. But occasionally I get to Ubuntu systems where TB is not installed and cannot be installed but I need quick access to mail client
through a commandline based simple mail client.
how to configure this client?
- Firefox 3.6.8 (64 bit)
- Get Mail extension (v3.3.4),
- Thunderbird (3.1.1)
Problem:
Clicking "Read Mail" does nothing, whereas clicking "Compose Message" opens Thunderbird as expected. Thunderbird is properly configured under "System Settings > Default Apps > Email Client".
Whereas, switching the default email client back to Kmail results in the Get Mail "read mail" and "compose message" functions properly opening Kmail in both instances.
This problem occurred for me before (when using openSUSE v11.1 and earlier versions of the apps), but I don't recall how I eventually solved it, or whether it was resolved via an update of one of the above apps/extensions. Nonetheless, I'm now confronted by the very same problem again.
I am developing a application in which i have to show the name of default browser and mail client. i want to run this application on RedHat, SuSE, Mandriva, and Ubuntu. I have checked similar threads but not found any useful information.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've installed Postfix and have the server running.On installation, it asked me which domain the service will be for. I entered "test.com". The service will be used for multiple domains. Can Postfix service multiple domains? If so, how can it be done?How does one create a user account? I have read the user account is a UNIX user account. My UNIX user name is "n", so would that mean my e-mail would be "n@test.com"?Is it true mail will be stored in /var/mail by default?I read on Wikipedia that Postfix does not support IMAP, so how does one access mail remotely, or even locally?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 5 mailboxes provided by my ISP, which I have been using since 2005 with IMAP.1 month ago my Thunderbird client under both 9.04 (desktop) and 9.10 (laptop) started refusing to delete any incoming mail in one of my mailboxes (but not in the other 4).
Error message: "(...) Mail server responded: System I/O Error" 1 week ago, same problem for another mailbox (but not for the other 3), again affecting both machines. Evolution does delete incoming mail on these 2 mailboxes, no issues at all. Have googled, found only one solution (imap folder corrupt), but nothing makes sense.
Since it has been announced that 11.10 will likely ship with thunderbird instead of evolution, I now am wondering how i am going to migrate my mail spool to the new application.
Is there a migration/import utility to transfer mail/contact/settings from evolution to thunderbird?
is there a way you can set up mail, so that it functions as thunderbird? for example, in thunderbird, you could create a hotmail email account, and add a new account to thunderbird with your hotmail username, password and if i recall well, smtp and server port. if that is not possible, what do i have to do be able to send emails from console in general? i ve seen some guides online which i think they are deprecated or something, cause the steps they suggest dont actually correspond to what you really have to do. what would be the simplest way to send email from console?

Everything works fine on windows but when I try to send something from the second account (not gmail) in ubuntu it says that password is incorrect. Ive double checked all settings and seems like everything set correct. Now the most interesting part: when I set up this account as root (gksu thunderbird and then do same as I did under my account) everything works perfect.
