http://askubuntu.com – In the setup instructions for Ubuntu One with Thunderbird it reads: Click on the checkbox next to "Directory Server" and select "Ubuntu One" from the pull down menu Well, there is no Directory Server for U1 listed in my 11.10 install, what's missing? Does Thunderbird need re-installing? Or is it a U1 problem? Thanks. (HowTos)
