If it's asking about the default keyring, this is due to having automatic login enabled - - It unlocks the keyring when you type your login password, which doesn't happen if you have auto-login enabled. The only thing you can do about this, as far as I know, is to disable automatic login. >> > If it's asking about the default keyring, this is due to having automatic >> > login enabled - - It unlocks the keyring when you type your login >> > password, which doesn't happen if you have auto-login enabled.

I see it now.
However, in one respect Thunderbird is even worse than Evolution, and that is on the matter of notifications. If you have the Windows List running on one of your panels, then at least with Evo the minimised window for the Inbox will show a number in brackets to tell you you have unread mail. Thunderbird's minimised Inbox window will not even do that. Not that that makes any difference when the number in brackets will be in black print on a black background, as is currently the case with my panel, an annoying feature that only applies to printed words in the panel, not to icons. What we need is what Outlook Express does for Microsoft Windows: it puts a postal envelope icon into the system tray when you have unread mail, and only then, so you know without having to touch the keyboard whether you have unread mail or not. We need a plugin to do that here. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
