How do I display the complete text of error messages?
I'm getting an error message from Thunderbird in the form of a Notification (I'm on MacOS) that says:
The current operation on '<name of a folder>' did not succeed....
I'm guessing that the rest of the error message will give the reason, but there doesn't seem to be a way to display it. Clicking on the Notification (other than the Close button) doesn't seem to do anything. Tools->Developer Tools->Error Console doesn't seem to give me anything that I can relate to the Notification text.
Does anyone have any useful suggestions?
Thanks, --Steve

Try the activity manager. I would have expected it in the error console (try clearing it before you get the error as it has lots of rubbish in it.) but sometime messages appear in the activity manager,
Activity manager helps a bit. It shows the following:
[Triangle Warning Sign] The current operation on '<name of a folder>' did not succeed. The mail ... responded: Some messages could not be FETCHed (Failure). Yesterday
But I can't get it to expand the message (the "..." may be hiding useful information). I can't even copy and paste the message. I can "select" a message (by clicking on it) or a group of messages (shift-click or command-click) but "right" click (control-click, or, for me, two-finger-click) is treated the same as a click (except that modifying it makes it a no-op).
How do I get the full text, especially in a fashion where I can copy-and-paste it?
