I made a pet for the Thunderbird 13.0.1 email reader:

thunderbird-13.0.1.pet - 20MB
md5sum:
5048ecc83da5270723a5f658ff4f3823 thunderbird-13.0.1.pet

Tested on Slacko 5.3.3 where it runs OK, however a Dependencies Check says:

File /usr/lib/thunderbird-13.0.1/components/libmozgnome.so has these missing library files:
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libgconf-2.so.4 libORBit-2.so.0

No idea if these are important - they don't appear to be

May be of help to somebody else.....

Actually saluki is probably best described as a fork of racy which is wary with some updated components but basically the same - i.e. they are both compiles from scratch and do not use any components from any other non-Puppy distributions like slackware or debian or ubuntu....jemimah has not had woof compatibility as one of her goals for saluki so she has not kept in step with woof developments and she has made so many changes that doing so now would be not practical (as I understand it)...

It works in Solid 511 too.

Thanks for this!!

I have been using the pet under Slacko 5.3.3. It works fine, but, I have notice the spelling check does not work correctly. It does not find spelling errors, even deliberate ones. Am I missing a needed library? When I installed no missing dependences were found. Any ideas on what may be wrong. Thanks for any hep on this problem and creating the pet.

Silly me! You have to download the dictionary. Under Edit, Preferences, Composition menu, there is download dictionary button. Use the button, download the correct language dictionary and restart Thunderbird. The spelling checker will work. Thanks for the pet and I hope this helps someone else.

Hey guys,

do I have to uninstall the version of Thunderbird (2.0!!!) I installed via the Slackware repositories? I'm on Slacko, don't know the exact version, but should be 5.3.3 or something like that.

Thanks for your help,

Pascal

Hi Pascal

Are you running a frugal install? If so then you can copy the savefile somewhere safe and try doing an update.

You may also want to copy your current profile (in .thunderbird (hidden folder) in root.

If you want to start again from scratch then I can probably give you some advice - or point you to advice on the web - there's plenty out there.

Whether updating all the way from 2 to 13 is safe or feasible - who knows - the only way to is to try but with all your important data safely backed up.

Thanks a lot, I'll try installing them this evening. Haven't had much time, to look after my Puppy lately.

Updated to Thunderbird 17.0.3 - see post #1

Checked to run on Slacko 5.5 and Precise 5.5

Updated to 17.0.8 - see post #1

I just installed the Thunderbird 17.0.8 PET in lupu528 and it and seemed to run fine. After running it for the first time it auto-updated itself to version 24.1.1 and says it is up to date. Is that how it is supposed to work?

Hi
I guess so if that's what it did - although my version only updates if you request it - not automatically....
Cheers!

When I try to use T'bird in imap mode with my email account that has 800 messages, my save file gets filled up quickly. I thought a virtue of imap was that nothing has to be downloaded, just accessed. Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening? Otherwise, it's not very useful to me.
