Lightning

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I know this is free and I appreciate the ingenuity and hard work that goes into something like this, but I am so acutely irritated and angry that I'm looking for alternatives to Thunderbird. Everything was working fine for months, years even. I had TB 4 and an old version of Lightning on my Mom's machine. I had her set up with gmail and everything has worked flawlessly for years. All of a sudden, 4 days ago, my Mom was changing an appt date in the calendar. TB crashed. When I started it up again, I had to start in safe mode because it wouldn't start. It only showed up as a process, but it was invisible on the monitor. After disabling all extensions and add-ons, the app ran. When I enabled the extensions and add-ons, the app wouldn't run. I uninstalled Lightning. The app ran. I installed the latest v of TB and Lightning and the app won't run. She's on Vista. I then went to my Mom's gmail account on the web and her calendar was empty! In fact, it was like a new google calendar that hadn't been set up yet. She lost 2 years of my data entry into her calendar. I can restore it from mine, but not using TB as it won't run with Lightning on her Vista machine. At this point, all I want to do is get rid of everything mozilla. I'm sorry but, if you've ever lost a lot of data due to a software/hardware failure, you should know how I feel. This is not a bug report. This is my review of an app that catastrophically failed me. I posted about this in the forums, but no reply. I am quite done with FF and TB. However, I would like to thank the developers for all their hard work. They created a couple of outstanding products. Unfortunately data loss is not something I care to repeat, if at all possible.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.2).
