Thanks so much – was searching around for information this helpful for around an hour!

Hopefully they’ll make something as simple to use as PST files in Thunderbird 4. Not that I like PST files for general usage, but for just moving everything around at the same time, they’re quite handy.

Kudos!

hi,

I have installed thunderbird 3 and its working fine. But I need to run it ./thunderbird always what I dont want actually. I am new in Ubuntu/linux platform and a previous windows user. So, still I prefer graphical things. Is there any way to bring the thunderbird in my Application menu??

Any bit of help will be appreciated.

Thanks and regards.

Swapan

Thunderbird 3 on Ubuntu – http://bit.ly/YW5Hc – just replace the beta link in the wget command with: http://bit.ly/8Sg0C0

Tom, I’ve got the same “GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times” error you do, on a Fedora 12 system… Any ideas? Anyone?

For those with a profile to restore, after installing thunderbird 3.0, this guide will come in handy http://bit.ly/6ionAS

Hi, i followed your advise, but can’t get TB3 to run. I opened it only once, and then no more, goving this error:
user18@karmic:~/thunderbird$ ./thunderbird

(thunderbird-bin:32471): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
user18@karmic:~/thunderbird$

Saying that thunderbird runs already… but that is not true/
Any idea?
Tom
