Hi all
Finally, we have Thunderbird as (default) email client in FC3. But it is version 0.8, while 0.9 has been available for a while. Where can the RPM for version 0.9 be downloaded. None of the familiar places has it. Why is this so? Maybe the solution is just too simple for me to see ;-)
thanks and kind regards Andre

I think there's probably just not much enthusiasm for updating to another pre-1.0 release when the Thunderbird roadmap says "Our anticipated 1.0 release will focus primarily on bug fixing and polish work and should shortly follow our 0.9 release. Expected ETA is mid November."

I am happily running 0.9 after FC3 updating with RHN....

Humm. Why would it not be in updates?

Yeah well Mozilla has been late before (as they were with Firefox) and Fedora managed to get updates out....
TB 0.9 has some nice new features. I got tired of waiting so I built my own RPM 4 days ago thanks to...

My personal experience using the 0.9 RPM has been that it is less stable than the 0.8 that shipped with FC3 with my massive and numerous IMAP boxes. I continue to use it, and wait to see if the 1.0 release is any better. Supposedly 1.0 is coming soon...
