I have run the update and am able to access all my files. All well and good,
but when I install Thunderbird, it doesn't show up in my Applications -
Internet like it did before. So right now I have to access my email via the
web portal, which I don't like. How can I get Thunderbird to install and
SHOW UP? The Package manager says it's installed. How do I access it?
