Thunderbird v14 and gmail [Solved]

[kage]

Hi,

After the fresh install of Sabayon 9 k I installed Thunderbird. I received v14 and tried to install both my gmail boxes.
That didn't work. The inbox stays totally blank
Tried to change the servers from google, no luck.

I googled and found this:
https://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_mes ... with_gmail

None of it worked for me. My wife upgraded from v13 to v14 without problems but installing the mail in v14 doesn't work.

So I want to downgrade to v13.

Can anybody tell me how I do that?

Using Gmail in TB14 here ok, I didn't realise there were reported problems with it.
Just wondering though, can't you drop your backup up ".thunderbird" directory into your home directory & have it pick up all your existing settings? There's no need to set TB up from scratch after a fresh install.

Thnx Cloot

Actually you're right. I used tot do that in the old day's. Since I use gmail (IMAP) I always start up fresh and let google fill it up.

I tried it with 14. I naturally see my old posting and so but it will not add new ones.

Think I'll pass 14 and wait for 15

Hello, shouldn't you now run

Code: Select all

# equo rescue spmsync --ask

?
Also, don't you need to mask TB13 so that it isn't upgraded to TB14 next time time you run

Code: Select all

# equo upgrade --ask

Otherwise what will stop entropy upgrading it?
I'm trying to understand more about installing the odd package from portage where necessary.

Hi cl00t

I'm not that good in cli. Apart from the commands: yes I should. But..... 2 days ago v15 was released. I installed w7 in Virtualbox. v14 windows had the same problem as the Linux version. I installed v15 in w7 and there were no probs installing, connecting and filling up my gmail.

It is possible that in the next Sabayon update v15 is included so I won't mask it.

cheers

Hi, I doubt TB15 will be in the next update, it's not in limbo yet, then it needs to go to main, then weekly.
At least if you run

Code: Select all

equo upgrade --ask

you can see if TB is going to be upgraded.
