I installed Thunderbird and run it from a folder in my-applications.
I've got a problem now though where the account settings and data aren't saved with each exit from Puppy.
I'll go back to Sylpheed for now. Any suggestions re Thunderbird?
Thunderbird data not saved
It worked for me
It works for me. I don't know why it works or why yours doesn't. Here is a step-by-step how I done it:
1) Downloaded Thunderbird for Linux from mozilla.org
2) Extracted the thunderbird???.tar.gz to /root/thunderbird
3) Using ROX I dragged /root/thunderbird/thunderbird to the desktop to make a shortcut. Then using ROX I changed the icon to the thunderbird icon.
4) Then I setup the account settings.

System info:
Puppy version 1.0.2
type 1 install
icewm window manager
