I would like to apologize for any confusion you my have experienced. It is very uncommon for the average consumer of any linux distribution to actually download software and install it from a third party. Most quality distributions provide some tool so you can easily and quickly download and install software that has been tested and is known to be functional right out of the box.
If you are using Kubuntu then here are the steps necessary to install Thunderbird. 1 - Click on the K at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. 2 - Type SOFTWARE into the search bar at the top and left click Software Management from the application list when it appears below it. 3 - Type Thunderbird into the search bar at the top and press RETURN or ENTER 4 - You will see "mozilla-thunderbird" appear in the list. Just click on the down arrow on the right hand side to select that package for download. 5 - Click OK. 6 - You will be prompted for the password you used to login to your system. The installation should complete without issue. The Ubuntu / Kubuntu software installation documentation can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware I did notice you were interested in Thunderbird 3. This package will become available in the next version of Kubuntu scheduled for release in April of 2011. If you must have it sooner then there is an unsupported method for installing Thunderbird 3 available via something called a Personal Package Archive. The link is here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa Installing from a PPA is available for more advanced users who are interested in cutting edge software and comfortable working around any bugs the software may contain. Does this help?
