There is a snap of Thunderbird, which you may want to try.

https://snapcraft.io/thunderbird

It is currently being maintained by the Ubuntu Desktop team, but is in the
process of being handed over to the upstream Thunderbird maintainers.

Maybe give that a shot. I have used it here for some months, and it worked
fine on my gmail accounts.

Cheers,

Thunderbird beta in ubuntu 19.10

2020-03-21 Thread matthew dyer
Morn all,

Yesterday I did a clean install of ubuntu 19.10 and since the stable version of 
thunderbird 68 does not work with gmail, I have to use the beta to get it 
working.  I have downloaded the beta 1 of 75 which is a tar file which I 
extracted and setup a link  to the executable file, and placed it on the 
desktop.  Doing some searching, I found a PPA repo which apparently  no longer 
works.  Is there a repo somewhere where I can get a ubuntu version of the beta 
version of thunderbird?  Using 19.10 as I said earlier.  Thanks.

Matthew
