Will Thunderbird get updated automatically (the way Eudora through uPortal.Cornell or Bear Access does)?
The short answer is yes; CIT will maintain the most current stable release of Thunderbird, and if you launch Thunderbird through uPortal.Cornell or Bear Access, you’ll be assured of getting the current version. The long answer is “yes, but…” As is our practice with all the software for which we provide automatic updates, we don’t necessarily release the newest version the same day it comes out. First we test it and pound on it and keep an eye on technical discussions of the product to see if the new release is stable enough for us to support. The other complicating factor is that there is an option within Thunderbird to have it check for a newer version and update if it finds one. If you turn this option on (it is turned off when you install Thunderbird from CIT), you may find yourself running a newer (and possibly not-quite-ready-for-prime-time) version than the one CIT is supporting.
