The thunderbird profile is stored on the users home share. This still seems like a SMB2 problem rather than a UID/GID problem since samba 3.6 works fine and thunderbird doesn't try and download every message again as soon as "max protocol = smb2" is removed from smb.conf. Wouldn't a UID problem remain regardless of what the max protocol setting was? > I don't have a windows server to test against, but surely this isn't >> acceptable behavior from a windows server.

Notepad and thunderbird both seem to have serious problems and not just with large files. I was unable to open a very small html file with notepad and couldn't save my thunderbird preferences so long as smb2 was enabled. Have you opened a bug regarding any of your issues (specifically not being able to save files and them showing up in the samba recycle bin)? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
