= First Login =
After first login, please start:
{{{
[user@host] migrate-profile.sh
}}}
This will migrate your profile (firefox, thunderbird, and others) to the new system. All files, mails and data remains untouched!

= Mail: Thunderbird =
== Mozilla Mail >> Thunderbird ==
 * The default Mail application has been changed from `Mozilla Mail` to `Thunderbird`.
 * If you start Thunderbird the first time, you will be asked to configure your Mail account: [[thunderbird|Thunderbird]]

== Addressbook: Mozilla Mail >> Thunderbird ==
 * To export the address book, start the old Mozilla mail.  Open a console and type:
{{{
mathray1 mozilla 
}}}
 * Menu `Window > Address Book`
 * Select the desired Address Book.
 * Menu `Tools > Export`
 * Choose a meaningfull filename (the name will be the address book name later ). F.e.: `private.ldif`
{{attachment:mozilla.abook.png}}
 
* To import the Address book in `Thunderbird`, start Thunderbird
 * Menu `Tools > Address Book` 
 * Menu `Tools > Import`: Select the exported LDIF File

== Profile ==
If the profile migration for thunderbird didn't work (no email-account configured), please try that:
{{{
[user@host] mv .thunderbird .mozilla-thunderbird
}}}
After that thunderbird should start with all old settings.


== Default Menu ==
We provide a default menu which we think suits most of the institute members. During the beta phase we make changes to this menu (e.g. add new applications). To reset your menu and adopt our suggestions, please run
{{{
[user@host] migrate-profile.sh -m
}}}
Note the -m option! This will ''only'' reset your menu, the rest of your desktop remains untouched!

= Sticky Notes =
The 'Sticky Notes' of our old Solaris can be imported into 'Tomboy Notes':
 * Open 'Applications' > 'Accessories' > 'Tomboy Notes'
 * Click in a Note on 'Tools' > 'Import from Sticky Notes'
'Tomboy Notes' is a much more powerful program then 'Sticky Notes'. But also 'Sticky Notes' are available on Ubuntu:
 * Right Click on the upper panel > Add to Panel...
 * Search for 'Sticky Notes' > drag and drop it to the panel
