The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by tonyadam in Miscellaneous Networking, Thunderbird Email Client
I would like to be able view email and addresses on both a wireless laptop (various places in the house) and a wired desktop located in my office. I have researched this idea considerably and it seems to be possible. On the Vista Ultimate desktop which I'll call "Primary", I have moved the TBird profile to a "D" partition and this works fine. On my laptop (XP Pro), I downloaded a full version of TBird and altered the "proflies.ini" file by changing the "IsRelative" to a "0" and "Path" to the folder on the desktop (set up as shared). I can see the desktop folders from the laptop. If I am executing TBird on the laptop and if the desktop has TBird open, I get an error message from TBird telling me that TBird is already running. If I close it on the desktop, I can open TBird on the laptop. It would appear that there should be a way for me to still see, get and send email from either system (regardless of which one is open) since I cannot be in both places at the same time.
Web research seems to iimply that possible use of Thunderbird Portable would allow me the function I want on a laptop. However, Thunderbird Portable installed on the laptop will not retain the location of the TBird Desktop network shared folders in either the Local Folder settings or the Account/Server Settings dialog box. I can change these boxes to the correct shared location but as soon as I close the application to restart it, the settings return to their nornal C:\ etc etc. locations.
I've been struggling with this quite a bit and cannot seem to find a solution. I would really appreciate help from someone who is very familiar with TBird. Thanks.
