This is nonsense, and I'm beginning to think thunderbird is nowhere near the mail client its coders would have you think. Since things are currently broken I thought I'd compile 3.1.x since the web says there have been improvements that might touch on my password perdicament, I find that 3.1 won't even build unless I un-install 3.0 first. This is bullshit. I didn't even tell it to install, just build, so I could see if it would do even that (it has failed at that on my machine). Now I have no client at all; healthy or broken. Can't the Makefile in this port be amended to allow building without assuming an install as well? Or would Mozilla rag about something such that this is not allowable? Cynically watching Thunderbird become less even as it becomes more, Reed Loefgren
