My problem is Idon't know what's going to happen if I download the latest version.1. What's going to happen with my current version ?2. What's going to happen with mail currently saved in various folders in my current version.3. My profile -- will it be transferredAll the above, plus other concerns, keep me from downloading thecurrent Thunderbird version.I really can't find a good tutorial on the subject.If anyone has had the experience of downloading a new version of ThunderbirdI'd appricate your tips and pitfalls I may encounter.

Jody Thornton Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Version 3.x and higher included indexing for faster message searching. I found that Thunderbird became slow after that, and that's when I switched to Outlook 2003. I never looked back. So I never ran past the last Thunderbird 2.x revision (2.0.0.23 or something like that). I loved Thunderbird up until that point.In all honesty though, I find even that Outlook is superior especially in terms of speed. Thunderbird as you know it somewhat lives on in the Seamonkey mail client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
