Ubuntu Linux Thunderbird Email Client Install and Debug

Winning Line of Effort

1. Install latest Thunderbird
2. Install net-tools – in order to be able to run netstat command
3. sudo netstat -plant | grep 80   –  to see what is hanging out on port 80
4. Saw nginx on port 80
5. sudo systemctl stop nginx
6. this time when I entered the credentials and gave permissions there were no problems and setup completed

 

Process Notes

1. Installed latest version as of 7/14/2024 – has problem allowing me to give permissions for the various services on Google.
2. Tried downloading v91.1.2 from Research Link #1 below – would not install due to dependency issues.
3. Tried downloading v91.1.2 from Research Link #2 below – program lit up but had same sort of issue "Secure connection failed" – this looked like same issue as with newest version step #2
4. How to install Thunderbird with Terminal  –  sudo apt install thunderbird
