Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008Thunderbird vs Leopard Please
Getting a new macbook pro tomorrow. Need to know if anyone has Thunderbird installed with Leopard and if there are any issues. I'm presently running TB on Tiger 10.5.11 with no issues at all. Many thanks  SignatureDudley Henriques > Getting a new macbook pro tomorrow. Need to know if anyone has > Thunderbird installed with Leopard and if there are any issues.

I downloaded Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 to see how it worked. The only issue so far, is that it can't convert my older mail files to its format. I have mail saved in AOL for OS X format, and that converted to Mail.app format. Neither shows up as an acceptable format for conversion. Am I missing something?

I tried to improvise, but Thunderbird didn't recognize any Mail.app mail files. I suppose I should take my own advice and purchase Emailchemy!

No difference from running it under Tiger a few months back, as far as I can tell. >Getting a new macbook pro tomorrow.

Then it took some work to migrate to Mail, but it's useful having those old messages two places. It is one of the newsgroup readers I have tried in my unsuccessful search to find one that worked the way I want a newsgroup reader to work. Three times it lost my signon and password (or maybe that was the keychain that lost them), but other than that it works as expected under Leopard. I expect to try it with the upcoming Thunderbird upgrade if I haven't found something that works the way I do before then. > It is one of the newsgroup readers I have tried in my unsuccessful > search to find one that worked the way I want a newsgroup reader to > work. Three times it lost my signon and password (or maybe that was > the keychain that lost them) Wouldn't have been the keychain-- Thunderbird doesn't integrate with it. (Think that might be coming in 3.0 though, along with Address Book integration...) Thanks everyone who answered. I've been off line tweaking in a new Macbook Air. Unbelievable great notebook!!! I can't say enough good about it. Love the thing. Thunderbird went into Leopard with no issues. SignatureDudley Henriques |
