The patchset/build sequence in the source ebuild for thunderbird 1.5 trigger (or create) some bugs that are not in the mainline mozilla-thunderbird-bin. This bug attempts to tally these. Here are some that I found (the first two, I've been able to reproduce on the source, but not the binary version): 1) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331216 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247896 for more info) 2) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126344 3) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127695 My source version was built from the 1.5-r1 ebuild with: CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-pipe -march=pentium-m -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse \ -O2" CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" Given these 3 data-loss bugs, I think it may be wise to hard-mask mozilla-thunderbird-1.5* (but not mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.5) until the culprit is found.

So until someone has a more precise method of reproducing last two issues I am not gonna mask thunderbird-1.5 source compile. >
