Thunderbird 2.0 - Fedora Core 6
So, I recently installed Thunderbird 2.0 on my Fedora Core 6 box. Here is what I did to get it working:
# yum --enablerepo=development list thunderbird
. . . snip . . .
Available Packages
thunderbird.i386 2.0.0.0-1.fc7 development
# yum -y --enablerepo=development update thunderbird
. . . snip . . .
Updated: thunderbird.i386 0:2.0.0.0-1.fc7
Complete!
The great thing is Thunderbird 2.0 comes with some really cool features which I have completely enjoyed:
- Save searches as folders
- Type as you go search in the message body
- GMail and .mac accounts in two clicks
- Custom message tags
This is also fun to write as a comparison to the Thunderbird installation on Ubuntu. I thought you’d like to hear the experience from another side.
Cheers,

I should mention that I am using that manual installation method as a temporary solution until it comes down the repo pipe..
Yeah! This is what I am looking for. I´ve spent hours trying to get the Thunderbird (downloaded from Mozilla.com) running without any luck. Thanks in advance. Thank you, again. Cheers!
