Thunderbird:Help Documentation:Base
Important Stuff:
The outline provided us with a starting list of topics to cover. What follows below is a (still partial) list of the topics that will be presented in documentation. Consolidation and rearrangement will probably happen until we get a good, stable base for help docs.
Note: Your changes will be released under the MPL, GPL, and LGPL licenses in addition to the license used by the Mozilla wiki (the GFDL). Log in when you make changes to receive credit for them, and mention your name in your wiki page.
Need (placeholder) screenshots? If you have further questions or wish to discuss anything, do so at the top of the appropriate page, preferably separated from the content by a horizontal rule (specified by ----). You can also email me if you want, or check on #documentation.

Obsolete, Crufty (Yet Possibly Reusable) Docs
These documents were made before we started outlining what's needed in Thunderbird Help, so they don't quite fit the scheme. Additionally, they're very old and probably contain invalid information. We shouldn't just copy this stuff over, because it's going to be wrong in many places, but it might still have some useful contributions.
