This is the FAQ for the debian mozilla-thunderbird package >= 0.9-7. If you run a version below that, better use the Old FAQ

Finally, I made it and migrated my old FAQ from jwsdot.com to this much more comfortable home. You can always find the most recent FAQ in the Debian Thunderbird Menu on the left.

The former FAQ will always be linked at the beginning of the current FAQ. So it should not be hard to get down to the FAQs valid for older releases.
So here is the debian mozilla-thunderbird FAQ … the layout is still a bit broken, but I am working on it

I uploaded thunderbird 0.9-6 to debian unstable and

released my new testing release to my preview archive. This release features a new browser integration debconf mechanism during the first installation to allow choose what kind of browser integration is wanted. A dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-thunderbird will allow you to change your settings afterwards.
Currently available Browser integration mechanisms are Debian, GNOME, Manual. See this FAQ entry for more info about this.

• mozilla-thunderbird v0.9 is available – Thanks to Mike Hommey that made this release possible. Get the preview release from my site.
• If you have a bug open in the debian BTS, please verify if those issues are still present in this release and drop a note to your bug report.
• mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail v0.89 available – This enigmail release has lots of new features, including a new key management frontend. Have fun with it! Note: Though the mozilla-enigmail package is versioned 0.89.0-1, the real version for the enigmail mailnews package is still 0.86.1. The reasons is that 0.89.0 is not yet compatible with mozilla mailnews. So don’t bother about this.
