Lightning is. .. .
Excellent! I've been waiting for this release for a while; but how big is the possibility that we also will see a release of Sunbird (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/)? I kind of prefer running this kind of application as a stand alone and not as part of Thunderbird.
Hrm... I rest my case and will try to follow the news flow a bit better; noticed an earlier posting now regarding Sunbird (http://www.os2world.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14680&Itemid=2&mosmsg=Item+successfully+saved.).
What am I missing: I have upgraded both Firefox and Thunderbird to ver. 2.0.0.5, but am having trouble figuring out how to install the Lightning extension for TBird. If I use Firefox to download, I get the 'install' button, but of course it fails with the message that Lightning doesn't go with Firefox. In Thunderbird, clicking 'add-ons' under the tools message, and then 'get extensions' doesn't produce anything. Do I use some separate FTP program to download...and if so, where should it be put, etc. etc. Thanks for any pointers. John
In firefox : click the download link with the right mouse button, select "Save as..", and select a folder where you want to download it.
Then in Thunderbird go to Tools --> Add-ons and click "Install", select the folder where you saved the file before with firefox and click "OK".
Thaks, I figured it out. This is a terrrific ! application.
