Yes! That's what I am saying.

This is a new problem! I used to transfert the same /home directory
since ages when I install a new distro (or update one).

*BUT* I cannot make any test on fresh account *because it is now
impossible to configure my mail account on thunderbird*:

1st it ask me if I want a mail account at Gandhi's NO

2nd I enter my own mail address (that I have been using for 20 years,
the one which I use to send this mail...) And it checks something then
conclude that it does not exist in its databases and I can go to hell!!!


When do people will stop to "help" with such fu... tools??

I am wasting my time because some people somewhere have a small brain
and cannot imagine that other people know what they are doing!!!
