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.
per http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.4.html#install
I was just suppose to copy the files....
In the end I put it in /usr/lib/thunderbird
I am NOT a Linux guy so could not figure out how to properly replace /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.0.8 and /usr/bin/thunderbird...
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
In 1.0.8, running these two scripts (mozilla-thunderbird -profile ...)and have two copies of Thunderbird running.
with 1.5.4 the second script gets:
Warning: unrecognized command line flag -profile
And focus returns to the running copy for acct1.
Advice?

On a package-based system, use packages, not source.

Well, I had driven home to me how much more I need to get organized....
A desktop notebook needs a little more, it seems, than a nice stable server. I have to learn about using the
CentOS-Plus repository and some 'beta' rpm stuff...
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. No ICON associated in the window (running gnome). 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).
Oh and this compose window and the extensions window also lack their icons.
Is there a beta 4.4 list where I should point this out?

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.

Sean

YES! that seems to work.

I believe either works. I have always used the former. And it worked fine in XP with TB 1.5.
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.
No dice. I had even did a shutdown, so I could boot up my XP drive to grab a couple of files from that.
No pretty ICONs.
And I noticed that the Gnome Applications -> Internet -> Thunderbird does not have an icon. It pointed to mozilla-thunderbird that is gone in 1.5
When I do an extensions check update, I get a whole bunch of language extenstions listed that cannot be checked as:

I hope I can ignore the language extensions...

Still getting TB to work the way Eudora did. None of the quoting options are as good as Eudora's was, and I am still stumbling along...
