Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Noob question: How do I get Thunderbird 3b2 in x86_64

I tried that one as well and it appears it did not build properly.  When I run Thunderbird the screen dimensions are all out of whack and the new account wizard seems to be in an endless loop that I can't get out of...

i've been using that couples of days. i've use imap google and everything was fine. but now i'm back to the stable version because folders subscription didn't work as expected. imap is really fast compared with stable

Re: Noob question: How do I get Thunderbird 3b2 in x86_64

Is it possible to build Thunderbird 3.x on top of xulrunner, as Firefox 3.x does?

Theoretically, it should be, I think.

/opt/mozilla/thunderbird3/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-glib-1.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
