    I tried to do as you said but when I put in my password and then clicked ok this is what popped up
    E: dpkg was interupted you must manually run 'dpkg–configure a' to correct the problem
    E:_cache-> open () failed please report
    Do you have any clue what this means. I am new to Ubuntu
    Thanks

    To correct the problem you must execute that command in terminal mode:
    1. To open a console go to: Applications->Accessories->Terminal
    2. in Terminal – type "sudo dpkg –configure -a"

    I hope that I help.

  3. To install Thunderbird manually, first close all open windows, even update window, becouse only one installation program is allowed at a time.

    Open Applications/Accessories/Terminal and type line by line + press Enter:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird

    And the problem will be solved.
