In the process of tidying up this article (fixing links etc.), I shortened the paragraph about compacting folders, replaced the reference to mail.purge_threshhold with other text, and added a link at the end to Compacting folders in order to "keep things simple" and make it easier for new users to read. If instructions on how to install an extension in TB really need to be in this article, they might go better in the paragraph about extensions. --wintogreen 11:36, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Unclear whether old users that have not experienced problems should also change the "default" profile name and/or whether they should make a new profile.

Unclear whether "child folder" is the same as a subfolder and whether "child folder in Local Folders" means a subfolder under the main folder called "Local folders" or a subfolder in the folder called "Inbox" in Local Folders. --American Finn 08:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Where to find Add-ons

The current text mentions only addons.mozilla.org and the Extensions Mirror as "trustworthy" sources of extensions. What about mozdev? Tony 00:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Initial setup

This section starts by saying,
Don't use the "default" profile name. Thunderbird has a nasty habit of once in a great while forgetting about the existence of a profile if it uses the default name. When this occurs you suddenly start up in the new account manager. You can avoid this by creating your profile with the Profile Manager and choosing a unique name.
