Support

Abbreviated report since I am sick, full report on December 29, 2009

1. Thunderbird 3.0 Top Support Issues
   1. Kaspersky DLL and KPT issue causes blank windows after upgrade from TB 2 to 3 - still awaiting exact Kaspersky executable version and exact Kaspersky DB version in order to notify users on GS
   2. Add-Ons: Where is Lightning? - beta is out, congrats to Lightning team
   3. Compact Header
   4. Untick use name and password
   5. 4GB Gmail issue - Bienvenu working on fix for Thunderbird 3.1
   6. duplicate folders after TB2 to TB3 upgrade
   7. opening IMAP text attachments is broken
   8. sometimes have to delete SMTP password after upgrading from TB 2.0 to 3.0 in order to send email
   9. Smart Folders UI is not intuitive
2. SUMO for MoMo aka SuMoMo
   1. theming almost done, last 10%, in this case the SUMO search, is the hardest, pushing for before Christmas
   2. since SuMoMo uses SSL, waiting for GS to give us GS widget code that works with SSL, expecting a fix before Christmas (not rocket science since since all the GS widgets except the Satisfaction Search widget that we are using allow SSL)
   3. JenZed is going to help with SuMoMo content, thanks Jen!
3. Key Support stats from the following graphic:
   1. asked SUMO folks for help
   2. as well blog post asking for help
