So... lets install latest Thundebird 3 Testing Version...
Add the following code to a new file (eg: thunderbird.sh).
#!/bin/bash
version=karmic # Change this to the Ubuntu version (eg: jaunty)
sudo bash -c "echo '# Thunderbird 3' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu $version main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu $version main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install thunderbird-3.0 thunderbird-3.0-gnome-support
version=karmic # Change this to the Ubuntu version (eg: jaunty)
sudo bash -c "echo '# Thunderbird 3' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu $version main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu $version main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install thunderbird-3.0 thunderbird-3.0-gnome-support
Just run the script,
sh thunderbird.sh
That's all... run using command
thunderbird-3.0
You can directly install this version even if Thunderbird 2.x is present, the profile will be automatically detected and integrated... some minor folder rearrangement may be needed... one issue, add-ons are incompatible...
