** Description changed: Binary package hint: thunderbird When setting up a movemail account in Thunderbird, the wizard provides - the option to the Global Inbox with the account. However, this type of - account seems not to support the global inbox. + the option to use the Global Inbox with the account. However, this type + of account seems not to support the global inbox. To reproduce: - Create a new account of type 'Unix Mailspool (Movemail)'. In the wizard choose 'Use Global Inbox' (it is checked by default). - Send mail to yourself (verify that it arrived with ls -l /var/mail/<username>) - Get mail for the movemail account Expected behaviour: - new messages from the /var/mail/username mailbox are moved to the global inbox under the Local Folders account. Observed behaviour: - Nothing happens, the Local Folders account does not even have an 'Inbox' folder. - Instead, messages are copied to the account-local inbox (.mozilla-thunderbird/.../Mail/localhost/Inbox). - In the movemail account settings, there is no option to control the use of the global inbox (as with POP accounts). Without the global inbox option reading mail works. Note: I have no other account configured which could make use of the global inbox (only IMAP accounts) -- in case this matters. thunderbird 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 Package: mozilla-thunderbird None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-thunderbird.list] PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/tcsh SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux 2.6.27-7-generic i686
