Thunderbird & Gmail

[Gerardo Rodríguez]

Thank you anonym,

I´ve found the version you told me and installed it (in a th v1.5.x), 
and as far as the headers info sent to the receiver it´s ok, it doesn´t 
leak any thing - only the client version - so it´s impossible to trace 
the email.

Now I just need to verify that there is no registration of mi ip & other 
info @ the smpt & pop servers; you told me to sniff the packets; I´m not 
to involved into sniffers and only used one or two times the wireshark, 
is there a special technique to do so?
