Hi all,


In my company, we are using thunderbird. But I would like to upgrade all
thunderbird in our offices... The problem is that we have several
version of Thunderbird. For me, we have 3 versions like 1.0.2 / 1.5 and 2.0

But when I check the version of the file "thunderbird.exe" I've this
kind of information:

1.0.2
1.0.6
1.8.0.12: 2007050903
1.8.0.14: 2007121005
1.8.1.12: 2008021305
1.8.1.14: 2008042104
1.8.1.16: 2008070808
1.8.1.17: 2008091421
1.8.1.18: 2008110519
1.8.1.19: 2008120920
1.8.1.21: 2009030215
1.8.1.9: 2007103104
1.8: 2005120115

When I check which version of thunderbird appears in the Add/remove
Programs, I've the following result:

1.5
1.5.0.12
1.5.0.14
1.7.10: 2005071616
1.7.6: 2005031711
1.8.0.12: 2007050903
1.8.0.13: 2007080918
1.8.0.14: 2007121005
1.8.0.9: 2006120700
1.8.1.12: 2008021305
1.8.1.14: 2008042104
1.8.1.16: 2008070808
1.8.1.17: 2008091421
1.8.1.18: 2008110519
1.8.1.19: 2008120920
1.8.1.21: 2009030215
1.8.1.6: 2007072817
1.8.1.9: 2007103104
1.8: 2005120115
2.0.0.12
2.0.0.14
2.0.0.16
2.0.0.17
2.0.0.18
2.0.0.19
2.0.0.21
2.0.0.9
3, 12, 0, 0
4.42


So... If i check on my computer (for example), I'm running Thunderbird
2.0.21 (Help -> About) but the file version of Thunderbird is 1.8.1.21
and via the Add/Remove programs, I've 2.0.0.21

My question is: How can I determine the correct version of Thundebird
depending on one of the two informations above (version of
thunderbird.exe or via the add/remove programs)???????

Thanks a lot for your help

You want still have 3 versions of TB and you want to upgrade it to
highest subversion or you want to upgrade to latest version (2.0.0.21 -
2009030215)?


>1.8.1.6: 2007072817
1.8.1.6 mean version of gecko used to build with.
1.8.1 - should be TB 2.0

Information after ':' is ""date"" of build.
I thing it is simplest to compare it here
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/
(take look at Last Modified column)

(note: 2.0.21 != 2.0.0.21)

Thanks, Mau, for pointing this out. The version should be the same
everywhere (unless there are silly technical restrictions). If you still
see this mess in TB3, can you file bugs, please?
