I'm not sure why I would want to set this, thunderbird has always run fine before ( and since).. also in my dovecot log I'm getting this: 2010-11-08 12:45:52 deliver(pbc): Fatal: postmaster_address setting not given and I KNOW I set this before... and I have this in dovecot.conf: postmaster_address=...@localhost -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459
