Are there any instruction for upgrade and removing thunderbird for icedove on trisquel 6?
Thanks you.
For those on Trisquel 6:
Install Icedove with the instructions provided in http://mozilla.debian.net/ (The instructions for Squeeze works (above version 3 obviously since that's present in Debian's main repos and not Trisquel's), I haven't tried the one for Jessie). It doesn't get you the newest version, though.
Please make sure you read the instructions for Icedove rather than Iceweasel.

just found this in the internet.
does that also count for icedove?
Icedove (the one I installed according to the link I provided above, and any other way I have tried thus far) has certainly got it.
So, no solution yet? Can we not add a version of Icedove to the Trisquel 6.01 repos? Really? 6.01 is supported until 2017.
I asked quidam on irc and his answer was that he planned on doing it but there were some difficulties, and that it was a low priority item for him.
You can take it from Debian's Mozilla repos http://mozilla.debian.net/ (The one for Squeeze (oldstable), Icedove version ESR works prefectly - not sure about the one for Wheezy.
I seem to recall there being an issue installing Lightning for this version of Icedove. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thunderbird won't install from Add/Remove Applications, so I tried sudo apt-get install thunderbird, whereupon I was informed that IceDove had replaced Thunderbird and the installation of IceDove proceeded forthwith without incident.
Now I'm hunting for the Profiles location so I can start importing my old profiles from the hard drive that housed debian before that computer died.
IceDove works on linux nearly exactly the way Thunderbird works on *indows, so I can keep two IceDoves running in parallel on these two OS's (on different computers) and transfer profiles w/o hassles if one gets hosed. I had to do that once when an antivirus program made the Thunderbird Inbox on the *indows PC vanish, and it went fine ... in the end, I restored the T-bird Inbox perfectly.
In the home user folder, there's a .thunderbird (or .icedove) folder. Copy that to your Trisquel home and (if needed) rename to .icedove
I am a translator!
yes. copy the folder to /home
and yes. you need to rename it .icedove
