Make Thunderbird extension compatible with PostBox

Submitted by shatteredmindofbob on 2009/08/19 16:48
PostBox is an incredible proprietary fork of of the Thunderbird project. It provides a whole lot of functionality missing from Thunderbird and actually gets threaded conversations to work properly.
 
Only downside is that it isn't 100% compatible with Thunderbird extensions, which apparently require a small modification to work (according to the web site)
 
So, assuming this page is truthful and it's not that big of a deal, I'd request a compatible extension for PostBox.
 
Thanks.

possible problem w date type field w certain settings -- needs to be confirmed

Submitted by jan_rifkinson on 2009/08/15 15:40
Steps to re-create:
  • create a new field, type = date
  • Field name = name_1. Example: Publication Date
  • caption (in grids) = name_2 Example: PubDate
  • caption (in properties) = name_3 Example: PubDate
  • no other special settings
  • refresh and / or close re-open grid / program
Result: user cannot enter date value, i.e. calendar does not appear & entry point becomes 'frozen'

On holidays...

Submitted by Pierre_Admin on 2009/08/13 23:21
Hello all IQUsers
 
I'll be on holidays from Aug 14th to 23rd incl. and so I won't be very active on this forum... but active in a different way. With a group of 7 others, I'll be cycling on Virginia's beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway.
 
I hope everything goes fine with this community web site and with the new release (0.9.24E)

Itemmodified field changed too frequently?

Submitted by gregory on 2009/08/13 04:42
In order to prioritise work, I sort items on Itemmodified desc.
 
However, I must somewhere have a rule established which is automatically updating all Items and in the process resetting Itemmodified. This occurs infrequently but of course messes up my prioritised list.
 
Would it be possible and desirable only to update this field if an item was "explicitly" changed? (And no, I'm not exactly certain what I mean by explicitly; perhaps from the keyboard?)
 
Comments and clarifications would be welcome!

Auto-Assign Rules on Fields not working

Submitted by gregory on 2009/08/13 04:28
I'm trying to establish an auto-assign rule on the Item field in my Inbox.
 
To simplify the situation and to demonstrate what looks like a bug to me, I have set a simplistic rule:
 
am:[Newt]=true
 
When I make a change to Item, I get the warning message:
 
A field rule [Item] references field [Newt] but this field does not exist. The rule cannot be executed.

Using the Google Spreadsheet to track the status of the User Manual

Submitted by KeithB on 2009/08/12 21:19
 
I needed something to keep track of what I'm working on on the manual, and thought why not use part of the discussion spreadsheet, and have it colloborative?
 
Any level of user could help via this vehicle--new users, put a comment column "I don't understand such and such of this page".
 
If you see anything missing in the manual, add another line, and call it proposed page or something.
 
Or "I'd like to see".
 
Or put "I have a tremendous amount of time on my hands, and massive InfoQube knowledge--is there anything I can do to help?"
