Hi,
Where can I find the number of average daily Thunderbird users by
version number?

As far as I know this number is only available internally at MoMo.

Are you not allowed to publish it? Even internally to folks with a MoCo
LDAP account? I'd like to know if bugs like
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378663> and
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376458> are even worth
bothering with anymore.

(Although, regardless of those bugs, I'm curious to know what percentage
of Thunderbird users have not upgraded to Thunderbird 2 so long after
the release of 2.0.)

I think sipaq was just saying he didn't have it.

I can't think of a reason we can't publish regular updates on high-level
numbers like that. Can someone file a bug on Mozilla Messaging, server
operations, and cc me?

I find it strange that for add-ons one has extremely detailed info, as
on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/statistics but for the main apps
one has to file bugs to get server ops to tell even rough numbers.

I asked a similar "rate of migration" question last year:
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird/browse_thread/thread/396be33497898ac1#

and wrote:
This is relevant to extension developers who want to use
Tb3-only features but also want to support Tb2 so long as
a "significant" number of people continue using it.

This is just to express my interest in some data along these lines too.
