How to know the version of Thunderbird Mail in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

  • 772

I had a problem with logging in the Thunderbird Mail on my PC that has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I checked in the internet about this issue and got to know that the Thunderbird Mail version must be 38 or higher to support Gmail. So, I want to know how to check the Thunderbird Mail version. I would also like to get different options.

  1. One easy way: http://packages.ubuntu.com

    Package thunderbird
    bionic-updates (mail): Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter
    1:68.4.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x

    Another easy way: The rmadison command (included with the devscripts package)

     $ rmadison thunderbird | grep bionic-updates
  thunderbird | 1:68.4.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 | bionic-updates   | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

  2. You can check available and installed version with apt:

    apt-cache policy thunderbird

    Or if you want to see complete information and what it depends on:

    apt show thunderbird

  3. As Joker said: apt show thunderbird is probably what you are looking for dpkg -s <packagename> is an alternative
