theYinYeti Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 The best way to get thunderbird (which is indeed excellent) is to get it automatically using urpmi, provided your urpmi configuration has contrib (I guess it is in contrib...). You can configure urpmi using the EasyUrpmi link on top of this page :) Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) For the record, Thunderbird is in "main" and indeed the best way to install it is via "urpmi mozilla-thunderbird", or "urpmi mozilla-thunderbird mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail mozilla-thunderbird-enigmime" if interested in the encryption modules. The mozillazine tarball, installed either globally or locally should also work. BTW what's the problem with kmail? It's working fine...

Aomighty Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Also, there should be no problem starting thunderbird, if download from mozilla.org. Just download the tarball, extract it somewhere, and from the directory you extracted it to, run ./thunderbird and it'll start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
