    2. Cannot read old email (compact folders seems to fix it)
    3. Cannot migrate email from old profile to new profile or old computer to new computer
    4. Forwarding email (how to delete recipients address and forwarding doesn't work)
    5. Attachments (computer hangs, thunderbird crashes, attachments corrupted)
  2. Support Plan for Thunderbird 3
    1. behind on finishing SUMO evaluation, found a few bugs but appears to be functional for our needs - should be able to catch up this week
    2. behind defining KB issues & new features to document for Thunderbird 3 - should be able to catchup this week
  3. Support Day: September 17, 2009, 9:30-5p.m. Pacific including Vancouver Mozilla Service Week event in the afternoon:
    1. solved a problem with gmail IMAP in #thunderbird, "solved" by upgrading to TB3 Beta3
    2. About a dozen folks at Service Week Event: very brief Thunderbird discussion was about Lightning and Calendering in general, majority was about CMSes like Drupal, WordPress and Joomla
  4. Key Support stats from the following graphic:
    1. approximately 15 / day
    2. total new topics:86 total replies: 111
    3. have ruby code in progress to semi-automate top 5 issues, relies on manual tagging, scheduled to finish this week
    4. #replies from non MoMo folks: 2 from Lightning folks (thanks Martin and Philip and wilkommen!) 8 from Tom (thanks!) 16 from TMZ (our newest official rep, thanks and welcome!) MoMo folks: 5 from Rafael (thanks!), 87 from Roland (I am going to do less this week to focus on Support Plan, SUMO, etc)
    5. happiness metric: API doesn't have happiness emotitags, asked GS staff about that, code in progress: http://gist.github.com/190094, manual happiness metric = 91 - 87 = 4
