Linux Mint Forums

I have a dual boot- XP & Mint. I have Thunderbird on both.
I find that in XP it shows Mail, Calender, Tasks in the left pane.
In Mint it shows only Mail , Calender.
Is it OK or I have to do something more ????

You just have to change the layout. There aren't any differences between OS versions.

How do I do that?
In XP I did nothing.. it came as Mail-Calender- Tasks format.
In Mint as Mail - Calender only.

Thanks

Click 'view' then 'layout'.

I rerued that.
It shows 3 options Classic - Wide- Vertical.
None of them show the 3rd option of Tasks

Pls advise

Oops. When you click 'view' then 'layout' make sure that 'today pane' is checked. That will show your tasks. Hope this helps!

Did that - No luck
The version is 2.0.0.14 (20080505 Does it say anything?

That's the same version I use (latest stable available) , and I have no trouble enabling tasks via that menu selection I showed you. Perhaps you need to resize your window? If that doesn't work try to uninstall it via synaptic package manager, then re-install it again. I really don't understand why it wouldn't work for you now.

Got it Thank you.
Yes, the icon in the left pane is ther in XP but not in Mint. Can there be a way of activating it?

I downloaded Lightning 0.8 & installed. Presto, the Task icon showed up in the low left corner.

Oh Bob
I am learning that the Forum is all about Learning together- growing together. I am really getting into the spirit of open source & the comeraderie. In fact despite dual boot , I hardly open my XP as all programs - hardware work beutifully in Mint.
