Hi there !

- if "grouped by sort" is enabled and the folder (usually INBOX)
contains a mail dated in the future, an additional (nameless)
"category" appears which can't be opened and the affected message is
invisible until I disable grouping
- why does TB's config reside in Librarywhereas FF's and SB's do in
Library/Application Support?
- the address book and the NNTP client are still quite poor compared
to the rest of TB - is there any interest in proposals?

TIA

Unfortunately that's where it was created somewhere in the early days of
TB and it isn't easy to move.

We're planning on looking at the address book in more detail as we move
on to the next version of Thunderbird (or two). We've already got quite
a big resource of ideas already - you might want to look back through
this newsgroup and in bugzilla to see if your ideas have already been
proposed.

Proposals are nice, but there is generally a good chance that ideas have
been proposed before. Even more appreciated would be willingness to work
on features, though.

Thank you. We already have a bug for that:

Bug 528016 - Messages with future dates (>= tomorrow) badly break
"Group by sort", missing group header string "Future Dates"

Just for completeness's sake: of course, this only applies to folders
sorted by date.
