Install Mozilla Thunderbird 13.0.1 in Ubuntu or Linux Mint

The latest version of default Ubuntu email client application Mozilla Thunderbird now lands on Ubuntu repository. It means that you will get the latest version when installing Thunderbird or running update on your system.

What's new?

• YouSendIt no longer expires Filelinks after 1 week
• The prompt given when a password had changed sometimes referred to a network error rather than a change of password
• Some Linux users may have been unable to start Thunderbird from outside the installation directory
• Miscellaneous other stability and display updates

Well, if you haven't known before, Thunderbird now offers to share for file larger than specified file size (via Thunderbird Preferences). By now, Thunderbird uses YouSendIt service which provides free plan with 2GB disk spaces, 50 MB maximun file size, and 1 GB traffic for a month.

Installation of Thunderbird in Ubuntu/Mint, open terminal and enter following command in Terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install thunderbird

Enjoy
