Thunderbird 14.0 issues
Not so minor
(not in order)
- ongoing TB14 Lightning failed to upgrade issues, please tag them tb14lightning; workaround: upgrade manually
- ongoing issues associated with automatic compacting; please tag these issues tb14compact - Not a TB 14 issue but an ongoing issue since TB12 that development, QA and support should work together to try and fix. Perhaps it's triggered by deleting emails from POP and Local Folders and having a small auto-compact limit e.g. 1MB - [bug 750569], [bug 762169] - POSSIBLE WORKAROUND - disable auto-compaction Tools | Options | Advanced | Network & Disk Space | uncheck "Compact folders when it will save over ..."
- At least two problems with toolbars on Windows, fixed by Alt V/F10; tag these tb14missingtoolbar - Jen: time to document in a kb article? - This seems to be an ongoing UX issue that should be fixed via an improvement of UX (or is this a Windows "education" issue?)
- Cannot delete email anymore in TB 14 (seems to only happen with POP accounts) - GeckoZone 1, 2
