Thunderbird - domain missmatches & somehow broken certificates

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

If your ssl-certificates domain should differ from the actual domain you are using to establish the secure connection to your mailserver, install this extension, check the domainmissmatch carefully ONCE and never again think about arguing with your Systemadministrator (because of this particular problem).

If Thunderbird still complains about your certificates, try installing the Cert Viewer Plus, to save your certificate and import it as a trusted authority afterwards - I’m feeling lucking now.

Thunderbird: Mailheader-Bug-Fix

Friday, December 21st, 2007

A really annoying Thunderbird-Bug concerning View->Headers->All gets fixed if you install this addon. The bug known to the Mozilla-bugtracker as #223132 almost was designed to drive anyone not having a 30″-multi-display setup insane (especially when trying to use the sieve-addon for Thunderbird - btw a usable Sieve documentation can be found here).

Installing the bzr-eclipse plugin

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

The plugin is still (very) alpha, so use it just for toying around at the moment. Everything you need to know is here. For experiments the needed bzr-xmloutput plugin is best installed into the local bzr-plugin folder (”~/.bazaar/plugins”).
Installation of the plugin itself is best done via the update site mentioned at the project HP.
Publishing branches via ssh (or anything else which requires authentication) currently requires preshared keys for there is no username/password-dialog yet.
If anyone out there is willing to get his hands dirty, either by hacking bzr-xmloutput or anything else related to this (hopefully soon) very useful project, I’ll give him a hug.
