Except that if you do install it it will take over as the default client
for emails, so when you (for example) click on a mailto link,
Thunderbird will want to start. This is easily corrected via the Ubuntu
"Settings" tool - Run "settings, then selet "Details" then "Default
Applications" and change the "Mail" setting to Thunderbird.

How do I know this? Because I've been there, done that. Installed
Thunderbird to check it out, decided to stay with Evolution, spend a
month cursing, one minute googling and ten seconds fixing :-)

Regards, K.
