Publisher's Description

Mozilla Thunderbird is a redesign of the Mozilla mail component. The goal is to produce a cross platform stand alone mail application using the XUL user interface language. The intended customer is someone who uses Mozilla Firefox (or another stand alone browser) as their primary browser and wants a mail client based on mozilla that 'plays nice' with the browser.

still one of the best mail clients you can get. although hardly anyone uses non-webmail these days. if you are going to do it use this!

As a long time version 3.0 beta tester, I'm glad to see it reach the final version.
The search everywhere is a good feature and there is a switch to let Spotlight search messages. The combined inbox is useful and the migration tool takes care of that. Integration with Mac OS X isn't seamless, but the Mac OS X Address Book can be accessed in the Address Book list.
The migration tool made a security change which may or may not annoy: it wanted me to use a master password and each time you start the browser it asks for that password.
A sticking point for me is that the Lightning extension is still in beta test and wasn't ready for use with Thunderbird version 3.0.

Best simple home mail client, bar none.

Pretty solid - not bad at all.
Wish it would do on the fly spell checking like Apple Mail does, and also had the same kind of right-mouse button menu options as Apple Mail does (look up in dictionary, look up in google, etc.)
It does have newsgroup support, but I do wish it allowed you to set it so it did not abbreviate newsgroup names.
Still, all in all, so far, so good.

Downloading and Installing

System Requirements

Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements.

Downloading Thunderbird

The Mozilla Foundation provides Thunderbird for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Windows: Installer

Linux: GTK2 + XFT (no installer)

Mac OS X: Compressed Disk Image

For builds for other systems and languages not provided by Mozilla.org, see the Contributed Builds section at the end of this document.

Installing Thunderbird

Once you have downloaded a Thunderbird installer or compressed archive, follow these instructions to install:

Windows

Double click the Thunderbird Setup 1.0.5.exe installer to start the install.

MacOS X

Double click the Thunderbird 1.0.5.dmg.dz Disk Image to uncompress and mount it. Your browser may have already done this for you. Double click the Thunderbird Disk Image to open it in Finder and drag the Thunderbird application onto your hard disk. Do not double click the icon in the disk image! Be sure to drag the Thunderbird application out of the disk image and onto your Hard Disk before running it. Drag the icon to your Dock if you want it to appear there.

Other Platforms

Extract the compressed archive and run thunderbird

Uninstalling Thunderbird

To uninstall Thunderbird, follow these instructions:

Windows

From the Start menu, choose Control Panel. When the Control Panel appears, double click Add/Remove Programs. Find 'Mozilla Thunderbird (1.0.5)' in the list and click Remove to uninstall.

MacOS X

Drag the Thunderbird application to the Trash.

Others

Remove the thunderbird folder.

These instructions leave your profile in place in case you install Thunderbird again in the future. If you wish to remove your profile folder, remove the location described below in the 'Profile Folder' section. Note that by doing this you are destroying all of your email, address book data, settings and other information and should you decide to use Thunderbird again you will be starting with a clean profile.

Other Information

Profile Folder

Thunderbird stores your user data in one of the following locations:

Extensions and Themes

When you upgrade to a new version of Thunderbird all of your Extensions and Themes will be disabled until Thunderbird determines that either a) they are compatible with the new release or b) there are newer versions available that are compatible. This is because Thunderbird changes from release to release and as such the ways in which some extensions integrate changes, meaning there can be problems when running an older extension with a newer version of Thunderbird. If you find that your favorite Extension or Theme has not been updated to be compatible with this release of Thunderbird, write the authors and encourage them to update it.

Known Issues

This list covers some of the known problems with Thunderbird 1.0.5. Please read this before reporting any new bugs, and watch it regularly (we'll update it as new bugs are found in the release).

All Systems

• If you install Thunderbird on a multi-user system in an area in which there is restricted access privileges, you must run Thunderbird as a user with access to that location upon installation so that all initial startup files are generated. If this is not done, when a user without write access to the install location attempts to start Thunderbird, they will not have sufficient privileges to allow Thunderbird to generate the initial startup files it needs to operate.
• When upgrading, all your Extensions and Themes will be disabled. This is not an issue, but it may appear to be one (hence its listing here). For rationale, see 'Extension and Themes' above.
• The default dictionary is English-only. To add a non-English dictionary, read the installation instructions.
• When switching between using a Global Inbox and using an Inbox for a POP3 account, be sure to make copies of the messages into another folder.
• By default, to protect your privacy, Thunderbird blocks cookies for all messages. This behavior can be problematic for some RSS feeds that require cookies. You can enable cookies by adding the line: user_pref('network.cookie.cookieBehavior', 3); to your profile's prefs.js file.
• Return Receipts (MDN) are not working properly for POP3 accounts.

Mozilla Thunderbird Mac

Windows

• When installing as a restricted access user on a shared machine into a location that you can write to, there may still be negative side effects (default email/other keys not being set correctly). The email client should still function however. When installing as a restricted access user do not attempt to install over an installation in a restricted-access/shared location as this may destroy that installation.
• Windows users can sync their address book with a Palm device by installing the Palm Sync extension for Thunderbird. Save the file locally and install it from the extensions dialog in Thunderbird. The extension will not show up in the list of extensions. You will have to restart Thunderbird after installing the extension before it will take effect.

MacOS X

• Do NOT run Thunderbird from the Disk Image! - doing this will cause an infinite restart loop (the symptom of which is a Thunderbird icon that bounces briefly in the Dock then disappears and reappears, bounces and disappears, over and over). To break Thunderbird out of this loop, open a Terminal and type 'killall thunderbird-bin' and press enter. Install Thunderbird to a location you have write access to and try again. When installing on a multi- user limited access system, install it into a shared location as administrator, run it once and then all users should be able to access it.

Mozilla Thunderbird Mac Os Download

Linux and Unix systems

• GNOME integration does not work properly with Fedora Core 3. Users of Fedora Core 3 will need to download and install linc-1.0.3-3.1.i386.rpm. After installing the RPM, perform the following command in the directory you installed Thunderbird into (you will need write permission):

  touch .autoreg

  The next time you start Thunderbird, GNOME integration should be functional.
