Thunderbird x64?

Post by CaJazzman »

Might there be a x64 version of Thunderbird? 8-)
UPDATE: If, anyone would like to change from x32 to x64, here's the link: https://www.m64.info/index.php/thunderb ... t-download
Enjoy everyone! 8-)

There isn't a x64 production build for Windows. There is one for daily builds (which are meant for testers). That looks like what your web site is posting. If you really want a x64 build I suggest you get it from Mozilla at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird ... m-central/ instead. Its safer and there are more recent builds available.

Well, after seeing that yours and the one I posted were the same, I'll stick with Thunderbird until a x64 version comes available. Thx, a bunch! 8-)

That same unofficial m64 site used to do the same with Firefox in posting random development channel builds of Win64 Firefox as the versions changed until the Win64 Release existed as of Fx 42.0 and on and thjey list those builds on site instead of linking to say http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

There has been no work on Win64 builds of Thunderbird especially for Release and Win64 is not really needed like 64-bit builds were needed for 64-bit Mac OSX (as combined 32/64-bit Tb) and Linux.
