278068 - News server concept

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Frank Winkler]

This is rather a RFE than a bug and concerns the News part of Thunderbird or
Mozilla Mail. Just wondering about the general concept of News accounts ...
Wouldn't it be much nicer to have a single abstract group view (independent of
special accounts) and have the servers with potential login information defined
somewhere else? So I'd have a list of groups, no matter what server I get it
from. That's the way it works in my favorite OS/2 News reader PMINews.

This would be made perfect if I'd be able to sort the different groups in my own
order and maybe bunch them by subject ...
