I agree. I'm on the verge of going back to mutt. T'bird has *real*
problems. I'm running the version that comes with CentOS 5.6 (yeah, yeah,
I need to do an update to 5.7) at home, and my hosting provider is under a
DDoS attack, and I couldn't send out email. So I contacted them, and they
gave me a private fixed IP address for outbound SMTP. Worked when I did
it, but the next day, it would *not* send email; it kept trying the normal
SMTP server, even when I set the private IP as default. I had to delete
the normal one before it ever tried the IP.
Then there's 3,1,3 that comes with CentOS 6, and no matter what I do,
clicking on a link WILL NOT open it in a browser window or tab, 100% of
the time, I have to copy the link, and paste it in.
