  1. Am I the only person why finds the new today box annoyingly huge? (Apart from that great though) I only have one or two entries normally and don’t need something that huge to show them. I’d love some way to put it under the folder list where the old one was and drag it to be just a few lines high.

  2. Is anybody planning to pick up the problems with iMip & Outlook? Something to do with MIME types IIRC.
    This is now the only barrier to being able to use Thunderbird/Lightning in our Outlook & Exchange corporate environment.

  3. I’m using lightning 20070725 build on linux and still see extra space around the lightning icons. I don’t think Bug 388566 is fixed.

  4. >> Am I the only person why finds the new today box annoyingly huge?
    I think it needs to scale well both ways. I can definitely foresee some people who occasionally only have 1 item a day but some people will list a dozen things per day (people to call, small tasks to do, etc).

  5. With the recent discussion on the possible end of Thunderbird (sad sad day if it comes to that), what are the implications for ongoing Lightning development?
    We were getting closer and closer to a true Outlook replacement.
    Is this all derailed now?
