Anyway, I expect next week to submit an update of my "New Account Types" addon (which is a precursor to ExQuilla) to AMO, and hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll release ExQuilla 14 to AMO and at my ExQuilla site (https://exquilla.zendesk.com/home) with Windows, Linux, and OSX support.

That's not really an issue though, as you can run 32-bit apps just fine on a 64-bit kernel. I think Xcode by default sets up your app to build 64-bit, but if you want to you can easily enable fat binaries or do 32-bit instead. I would go with whatever is easiest for you, 32-bit only, or universal binary with both (if that buys you anything).

Yet it also does not just work with investigation, either. The C++ code, with its strong type checking, tends to just work once you get it to compile and link at all. The javascript side so far has caused more issues, which seems a little odd. Like XUL code that worked just fine in Windows did not work in Linux. But really the main thing that I need are answers to stupid questions, since I have so little experience in the OSX world. Like, are both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of OSX commonly in use? Is it more typical to see separate 32 and 64 bit versions, or are universal binaries the expected packaging method?

Hoping for a Mac build soon :D Is there anything I can do to help? I know this is probably closed source, but perhaps you can fork off/create small test cases for the parts/libs that you suspect will be troublesome, and the "community" can help out porting those?

I should be able though to at least show the returned url to the user, so that if you have problems opening the browser from TB (which frequently happens to me, too BTW) you will have a recourse. But that will have to be in a future TweeQuilla version, which does not help your current problem. I have no workaround, other than killing FF before trying this, which usually works for me.

But then I frequently have cases where Thunderbird links cannot be displayed in the browser (unrelated to ToneQuilla), with some sort of message claiming that Firefox is already running. Generally my issues go away when I close Firefox (sometimes manually from the task manager) or after reboot in the worst case. So I suspect this is an underlying Thunderbird/browser interaction issue, though perhaps I need to anticipate that and show a link that could be opened manually if the browser interaction fails.

The activation procedure does not work for me. I click on "CLICK HERE FIRST" but I am not redirected to the browser. The browser does not open at all. So I cannot get the Tweeter authorization :( to use your APP. Is it normal with these updated versions of programs incurring on this error? Hope to use your nice APP soon. regards L. hi,

It is possible though that 1) it does not work at all, or 2) it appears to work but does not actually reduce storage usage, only message appearance. TweeQuilla has no "storage" outside of the message database, so the question is whether space for deleted items is being recovered in the database. That is a core issue that would need to be checked. I don't know the answer myself. Although I don’t recall if I have tested it or not, you can set a retention policy on each folder by right clicking on the folder, and setting the retention policy.
