Since Centos 4.3 comes with Thunderbird 1.0.8, I downloaded the tar of 1.5.0.4 fro mozilla and tried to figure out what to do with it.
<snip> So I setup the following script, acct1mail:
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -profile ~/data/acct1/Mail & set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0
and acct2mail
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird -profile ~/data/acct2/Mail & set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0
On a package-based system, use packages, not source.

I did the install: rpm -Uhv thunderbird-1.5.0.2-0.1.EL4.centos4.i386.rpm
I downloaded the rpm as a user, but ran the rpm SUed. Three problems:
Does not fix my MOZ_NO_REMOTE problem.
You might try : MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 export MOZ_NO_REMOTE
also, after quick google, are you meant to specify profile location, or profile name? Instead of -profile ~/data/acct1/Mail
try, -P "Profile Name"
No ICON associated in the window (running gnome).
OK, you may have to logout & log back in again for GNOME to pickup on icons -- there may be a command to get GNOME to detect new icons/reread pixmaps dire - unsure.
When I do an extensions check update, I get a whole bunch of language extenstions listed that cannot be checked as:
Update not supported (install location is read only).
This is normal - to update language extensions (which is not stored in local user profile), you must run as root/su'd.
Oh and this compose window and the extensions window also lack their icons.
As above - try logging in & out.
Is there a beta 4.4 list where I should point this out?
centos-devel list I assume, http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel
Also, try not top-posting, makes it harder/more effort to reply.
