Why do you make it so damned hard to report bugs!!! 

It is soooooooo frustrating trying report bugs from the new versions because of
all the red tape that you have to go through to report anything. This is ridiculous!

Please make bug reporting more user friendly!!!

You have tooo many damned steps! This is crazy. Why would I want to report the
problem I"m having!!!

I'm still having a problem deleting files from my inbox because I get the error
message "Unable to delete messages in folder because it is being used by some
other operation. 

How can I stop that operation so I can reset my system?

Do you have any on-access virus scanner active which could lock the mailbox
files? If not try to delete the inbox.msf file (index file for inbox) in your
profile (Mozilla should be closed before). Perhaps the index file is corrupt.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
