Thunderbird- different in XP & Mint????
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 ????

Re: Thunderbird- different in XP & Mint????
You just have to change the layout. There aren't any differences between OS versions.
Re: Thunderbird- different in XP & Mint????
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'.

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?

Re: Thunderbird- different in XP & Mint????
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.
Re: Thunderbird- different in XP & Mint????
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.
