  1. Hi Simon, I am still curious when there will be localized builds for Lightning, so we can test them also.
    Or maybe a tutorial on how to simply turn the English version to a local version.
    Thanks,
    Wim

  2. Hi,
    Which extension should I download to work with Thunderbird 3.0b1? I tried using latest nightly from “latest-trunk” as well as from “latest-comm-central” but couldn’t install it.
    Thanks,
    Angrez
