Install the general basic configuration of Ubuntu see this blog another article: Ubuntu basic configuration ]

Thunderbird mail processing software installed after the drawings:

Use the Thunderbird mail processing software to replace the evolution that comes with the system.
Why superfluous to replace? This look at personal habits, with uncomfortable will be thinking about finding alternatives ...
Additional Mac,linux,win version: click here


1: Uninstall Evolution

sudo apt-get Remove evolution (remove Evolutioin)

sudo rm/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution

(Delete the evolution information under the Mail icon in the top right corner of the desktop, replace it with the Thunderbird icon below)


2: Install Thunderbird

Mode 1: (case where Thunderbird is not found in the software source)

Add source according to system version: Address: PPA for Ubuntu Mozilla Daily Build Team

　　　　

Way two:

In the software source, it is installed directly from the command or with the newly-made package manager.

Command mode: sudo apt-get install thunderbird

New way of getting up, drawings:

　　
(If the software source has THUNDERBIRD-LOCALE-ZH-CN (Chinese package) directly tick, if not see below)


Way three: (personally not recommended)

Download online (green version?) ): http://www.mozillamessaging.com/zh-CN/

After decompression can be run directly (terminal into the Thunderbird directory,./thunderbird Run the executable file

or directly into the directory with the mouse click on the Thunderbird executable program run)

Mode three decompression after the operation is already in Chinese version

Pass: Is the green version, do not need to install, so after decompression can not run in the terminal run-mozilla.sh? ）。

(The home directory contains hidden folders.) Thunderbird, moving the Thunderbird folder causes the runtime to require configuration information to be created,

You can remove the hidden. Thunderbird directory and revert to the state of the first run: sudo rm-r. Thunderbird).


The way one and two are loaded after the English version:

Need to install Chinese package, THUNDERBIRD-LOCAL-ZH-CN.

: HTTPS://LAUNCHPAD.NET/UBUNTU/NATTY/I386/THUNDERBIRD-LOCALE-ZH-CN/1:3.1.2UBUNTU1

{For other versions, the links are changed to natty such as Maverick, lucid, etc. }

The following action is to integrate Thunderbird into the system, which is configured in the drop-down menu (indicator applet) of the envelope icon in the upper-right corner:

sudo gedit/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/thunderbird

Then write the following code:

/usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop

Save Close.

This is the end of the basic configuration, but at this time the Thunderbird does not have the message prompt function, we need to install the plug-in for it to achieve such a function.

First, we need to install the relevant packages:

Open the system-to-system management-new software package Manager, search for "Libnotify-bin", Mark and apply.

If you do not install it, you will receive the following prompt:

"To see notifications via libnotify, the Libnotify-bin package needs to be installed.

Install this package via System->administration->synaptic package Manager. "

Utility Plug-in (with download link):

1: indicators for Thunderbird 1.1

2: minimizetotray Plus

3: Google contacts to achieve Goole Address book synchronization.
4:persnas Plus Theme

Thurderbird Integration with Ubuntu unity:

Two + plugins:

1:ubuntu Unity Messaging Menu Integration plugin: Download [Official Introduction]

2:unity Launcher Integration plugin: Download (need to restart Thunderbird and Unity Launcher after installation, it is recommended to log off and then login)

----(because the installed Thunderbird version is incompatible with the two plugins, the two plugins I did not install successfully)
