# While we will do our best to help you with your problem, please remember that Thunderbird is a '''free''' and '''open source''' project. This means that - in addition to being able to provide Thunderbird free of charge - many of our activities (particularly support, documentation and customization) are mostly volunteer efforts. Given that we don't have the resources of a commercial software company, we rely on our users and our community to help each other via open channels e.g. http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging and this wiki. '''We do not provide paid support or support via telephone or email, fax or live chat. Official support is only provided online''' at http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging & other unofficial places on the internet, NOT through this wiki.

This is a DRAFT guide to the [http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging Get Satisfaction] website as used by Mozilla Messaging for Thunderbird support. It is the first of a series of community-authored wiki pages on community support for Thunderbird using Get Satisfaction (there are numerous channels of support for Thunderbird on the internet, most notably the [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=39 mozillaZine forums] but the Mozilla Messaging team is focusing on Get Satisfaction). Please help by improving the contents of this page or giving suggestions in IRC at [http://www.mibbit.com/chat/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23gsfn #gsfn] on irc.mozilla.org
