I had no problems with Thunderbird 3.0b4 or any of the nightly builds that have lead up to it. Once or twice over the many months I had a 'bad day' but it was corrected by the next night's build. I should say that these are Mozilla nightly builds and not Fedora's. I currently am using 3.0pre dated Oct 19, 2009. I turned on GLODA as soon as it was available. It took some time to complete the first time. From then on it takes nothing that I can never notice unless I see the information show up in the activity notification area. As for the thread you mentioned? I saw that I seem to recall that no one really had a problem other than the amount of time it took to do the indexing the first time. But I did not find that a major problem or experience any others with the 3.0b4 series. And to repeat myself - these were *not* Fedora supplied packages. They came directly from Mozilla. I also get my Firefox nightly-build packages directly from Mozilla. Mozilla does not force all of those language packages on me as Fedora does. :-) But seriously if you think that this is really important you should write a Bugzilla on it so that the maintainer(s) will know about this. Writing to a mailing list normally only generates message threads. -- David
