  1. In the comments of your last post there was mentioning of a “Today-pane”.. Is there a bug for this, where I can follow this ?? This is something I would really like to see in lightning / thunderbid

  2. I just wanted to let you guys know that all of your hard work is appreciated!
    Keep up the great job!

  3. Hey there, we are testing Thunderbird 2.0 and Lightning 0.5 in a big Italian organization (say 600 people) to implement shared calendars. Our server runs phpicalendar “light” software, and keeps shared ICS files. Currently everything is working like a charm :)

  4. I am using the “Maximize message pane” extension for Thunderbird, as well as lightning, and bug 371916 seems to interfere with the extension’s ability to minimize the folder pane. Any chance that this will be somehow dealt with? I tried the nightly and reverted to the 0.5 release because of this problem..

  5. Any news on when the universal mac OS version will be build with the nightly building process ?

  6. Hi guys.
    In lightning 0.7 release, will be add also an button for switching between mail, calendar view and contact adress view.
    Ciao.

    Any idea when you’ll be fixing the issue with GroupWise appointments not able to be scheduled in .5? It worked in .3 – If not anytime soon, how do you go back to .3 so it’ll work?

  9. When are we going to see the new event dialog box

  10. Hi,
    How to uninstall 0.5 version? I am unable to do that.
    Reason to uninstall I don’t get alarm is not raised for the alerts that were added to calendar using 0.3 version. I tried deleting all of them and adding them again using 0.5 version. But alarm is not raised. It raises alarm when I restart Thunderbird.
    Want to go back to 0.3 version, where alarm was raised as expected.
