Appending: Actually, Thunderbird 3.0 does not really work-it just gets a bit further.
I can create a profile on the local hard disk and everything works. But when I copy it to the NAS and redirect the profile, Thunderbird 3.0 starts, but claims not to have the password when I retrieve emails. Probably an access-rights related issue. I use a ReadyNAS NV+ with the latest firmware RAIDiator 4.1.6 [1.00a043], and here is my fstab entry for the share: //192.168.0.4/data /mnt/NAS/data/ cifs uid=1000,umask=000,noperm,noauto,nogroup,rw,credentials=/root/credentials/NAS/data,iocharset=utf8 0 0 I have used this technique successfully in the past, so I know it works. This is probably an issue with the new Samba, the NAS (which runs Linux), and Thunderbird. Guys, if I can't get this to work soon, I may give Evolution a try. The only reason I used Thunderbird was that I dual-booted and wanted to access my profile from Windows and Ubuntu (which worked), but now that I don't use or need Windows anymore, that reason is pretty much obsolete. -- Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Ubuntu 9.10 cannot access profile on CIFS share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
