<!-- Introduction -->
<p>Thunderbird is a full-featured email, RSS and newsgroup client that makes emailing
safer, faster and easier than ever before. <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/">More

<!-- What's New -->
<h2><a name="new">Highlights</a></h2>
<p>Here are some of the new features to look for in Thunderbird:</p>
<ul class="news">
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/junkmail.html">Adaptive Junk Mail Controls</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/rss.html">RSS Integration</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/search-folders.html">Saved Search Folders</a>
<p>Saved Search Folders display messages based on previously set search criteria. For example,
instead of filtering messages into a new folder, you can create a
Saved Search Folder that lists all the messages received from a certain
person over the past 30 days, even if those messages are stored in
different folders and subfolders.
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/global-inbox.html">Global Inbox Support</a>
<p>POP3 users can now combine all of their POP3 accounts into a single global inbox
under local folders.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/message-grouping.html">Message Grouping</a>
<p>You can now group messages in a
folder by attributes such as date, sender, priority or a custom label. For instance,
a folder grouped by date will group messages from today, yesterday, last week, etc. into self-contained
groups in the message list pane. (<span class="mnu">View > Sort By > Grouped By Sort</span>)</p>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/privacy-protection.html">Privacy Protection</a>
<p>In order to help protect your privacy, Thunderbird now automatically blocks remote image
requests in emails from senders you
don't know.</p>
</li>
<li>Comprehensive Mail Migration from other Mail Clients
<p>Switching to Thunderbird has never been easier since Thunderbird can now migrate
all of your email data including settings, mail folders and address book data from common mail applications
such as the Mozilla 1.x Suite, Outlook Express, Outlook and Eudora.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="install">Installing Thunderbird</a></h3>
<p>Once you have downloaded a Thunderbird installer or compressed archive, follow
these instructions to install:</p> <span style="font-style: italic;">Note: Mozilla Thunderbird will
create its own user profile information if it does not
exist. If you have previously installed the Mozilla Suite, Thunderbird will
not interfere with your Mozilla Suite profiles.</span><br>
<h3>Windows</h3>
<p>Double click the <tt class="filename">Thunderbird Setup 1.0.exe</tt> installer to
start the install.</p>
<h3>MacOS X</h3>
<p>Double click the Thunderbird 1.0.dmg.dz Disk Image to uncompress and mount it.
Your browser may have already done this for you. Double click the Thunderbird
Disk Image to open it in Finder and drag the Thunderbird application onto your
hard disk. <strong>Do not double click the icon in the disk image!</strong>
Be sure to drag the Thunderbird application out of the disk image and onto your
Hard Disk before running it. Drag the icon to your Dock if you want it to
appear there.</p>
<h3>Other Platforms</h3>
<p>Extract the compressed archive and run <tt>thunderbird</tt></p>
<h3 id="uninstall">Uninstalling Thunderbird</h3>
<p>To uninstall Thunderbird, follow these instructions:</p>
<h3>Windows</h3>
<p>From the <kbd>Start</kbd> menu, choose <kbd>Control Panel</kbd>. When the
Control Panel appears, double click <kbd>Add/Remove Programs</kbd>. Find
"Mozilla Thunderbird (1.0)" in the list and click <kbd>Remove</kbd> to uninstall.</p>
<h3>MacOS X</h3>
<p>Drag the <tt class="filename">Thunderbird</tt> application to the Trash.</p>
<h3>Others</h3>
<p>Remove the <tt class="filename">thunderbird</tt> folder.</p>
<p>These instructions leave your profile in place in case you install Thunderbird
again in the future. If you wish to remove your profile folder, remove
the location described below in the <strong>"Profile Folder"</strong> section.
Note that by doing this you are destroying all of your email, address book data,
settings and other information and should you decide to use Thunderbird again you
will be starting with a clean profile.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Other Information</h2>
<h3 id="profilefolder">Profile Folder</h3>
<p>Thunderbird stores your user data in one of the following locations:</p>
<table style="font-size: smaller;" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="../../../images/ico-win.png" alt=""> Windows 2000, XP</td>
<td>Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla Thunderbird</td>

<tr>
<td><img src="../../../images/ico-tux.png" alt=""> Linux and Unix systems</td>

</tr>
</table>
<h3 id="extensions">Extensions and Themes</h3>
<p>When you upgrade to a new version of Thunderbird all of your Extensions and Themes
will be disabled until Thunderbird determines that either a) they are compatible
with the new release or b) there are newer versions available that are
compatible. This is because Thunderbird changes from release to release and as such
the ways in which some extensions integrate changes, meaning there can be problems
when running an older extension with a newer version of Thunderbird. If you find
that your favorite Extension or Theme has not been updated to be compatible with
this release of Thunderbird, write the authors and encourage them to update it.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><a name="issues">Known Issues</a></h2>
<p>This list covers some of the known problems with Thunderbird 1.0. Please read this
before reporting any new bugs, and watch it regularly (we'll update it as new
bugs are found in the release).</p>
<h3>All Systems</h3>
<ul>
<li>
If you install Thunderbird on a multi-user system in an area in which there is
restricted access privileges, you must run Thunderbird as a user with access to
that location upon installation so that all initial startup files are generated.
If this is not done, when a user without write access to the install location
attempts to start Thunderbird, they will not have sufficient privileges to allow
Thunderbird to generate the initial startup files it needs to operate.
</li>
<li>
When upgrading, all your Extensions and Themes will be disabled. This is not
an issue, but it may appear to be one (hence its listing here). For rationale,
see "Extension and Themes" above.
</li>
<li>
The default dictionary is English-only. To add a non-English dictionary, read
the <a href="../dictionaries.html">installation instructions</a>.
</li>
<li>
When switching between using a Global Inbox and using an Inbox for a POP3 account, be sure to
make copies of the messages into another folder.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Windows</h3>
<ul>
<li>
When installing as a restricted access user on a shared machine into a location
that you can write to, there may still be negative side effects (default
email/other keys not being set correctly). The email client should still function
however. When installing as a restricted access user do <strong>not</strong>
attempt to install over an installation in a restricted-access/shared location
as this may destroy that installation.
</li>
<li>
Windows users can sync their address book with a Palm device by installing the
<a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/extensions/palmsync/palmsync.xpi">Palm Sync extension</a>
for Thunderbird. Save the file locally and install it from the extensions dialog in Thunderbird. The extension will
not show up in the list of extensions. You will have to restart Thunderbird after installing the extension
before it will take effect.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>MacOS X</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Do NOT run Thunderbird from the Disk Image!</strong> - doing this will
cause an infinite restart loop (the symptom of which is a Thunderbird icon that
bounces briefly in the Dock then disappears and reappears, bounces and
disappears, over and over). To break Thunderbird out of this loop, open a
Terminal and type "killall thunderbird-bin" and press enter. Install Thunderbird to
a location you have write access to and try again. When installing on a multi-
user limited access system, install it into a shared location as administrator,
run it once and then all users should be able to access it.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Linux and Unix systems</h3>
<ul>
<li>
GNOME integration does not work properly with Fedora Core 3.
Users of Fedora Core 3 will need to download and install
<a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/linc-1.0.3-3.1.i386.rpm">linc-1.0.3-3.1.i386.rpm</a>.
After installing the RPM, perform the following command in the directory you
installed Thunderbird into (you will need write permission):
<p>
<code>touch .autoreg</code>
</p>
<p>The next time you start Thunderbird, GNOME integration should be functional.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h2><a name="FAQ">Frequently Asked Questions</a></h2>
<ol class="faq">
<li>
What can I do to help?
<p>We need all the exposure we can get. Make it your mission to convert as many
