Not sure I completely understand how you do it, but perhaps it's clearer when you actually try. Anyway, it seems the problem is only happening on my Jaunty laptop, and its system logs are indicating a problem with the wireless networking: beacon loss from AP - sending probe request x3 or x4 entries, repeated every ten minutes or so, and then it's OK for a while. (I've put # for the AP number) But as this is not a problem with other laptops in the house (running 8.04), I'm beginning to suspect it's something to do with Jaunty, not with Thunderbird or the wireless router. (I should also say that my Thunderbird profile is on a network drive, so that I can access it from any of the machines in the house, so the networking is critical.)

As you say it does not appear to log anywhere else - I couldnt find anything in the usual places either. My problem turned out to be down to my firewall blocking thunderbird, so things worked fine when I was inside the firewall and failed in a similar way to the one you described when I was outside it. From the log I spotted thunderbird was never getting a response to its login request, which led me back to check the firewall and fix it.

It looks as though it's about Thunderbird logging how it's processing mail via the standard protocols (you select the ones you want to monitor). My problem is that Thunderbird itself is becoming unresponsive from time to time (the dreaded darkened window!), and I'm having to do a 'Force quit' and restart. I can't see anything in the system logs; and I wondered if there's a log that monitoring Thunderbird itself, rather than just the mail processing. Or have I got this entirely wrong, and the log you mention is what I need? mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
