    Easy as 1, 2, 3... *ahem* 4

    1. Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
    2. Search for thunderbird
    3. Select Mark for installation
    4. Click Apply

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    There are a lot of ways to install packages in Ubuntu. If your machine has internet access then package installation is really easy.

    Open Synaptic Package Manager as suggested earlier and click on Reload button. It will fetch latest list of packages available in Ubuntu Sources. Search Thunderbird and mark it for installation. Click Apply button. Thats all !!

    If you prefer command line, execute this in Terminal :
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install thunderbird
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    The ways posted above are probably the best way to go.
    But if that is not working just download thunderbird from mozilla.org and just execute the thunderbird executable.

    Should work without compiling anything.
