does thunderbird work with windows 7??

Yes TB works on Win 7 64! Not only does it work, I have set up folders and profiles on a different partition and have Win 7 and XP pro using the same profile and sharing the same mail accounts and local folders, even lightning is working very well this way on this dual boot computer.

I have managed to install the English version of TB on my Windows 7 powered computer, however the German version (my mother tongue) can't be installed as the McAfee virus program installed on my computer "detects" a trojan virus in the install file... Is this a known bug? Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

A number of us are having problems with Tbird on Win7. Get the message "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." Unfortunately, no Thunderbird processes are running.
I have found that it runs just fine, if the user account is non-admin, but will give the above message from an admin account. Trying all the compatibility options do not affect the error response.
Probably a Thunderbird bug.

I have windows 7 and Thunderbird version 2.0.0.23 (20090812) , It performs fine but all my email display in text only. I have set the "Message Body" to Original-HTML but this does not help. The same emails display just fine in outlook. What next ?

What is the simple adjustment to the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles.in file ?: I was actually feeling like I was going to have a stroke when I noticed there was no mail program in 7. Can I just import all my contacts and email folders that are sitting on my vista machine? Thanks </user>

Yes, Thunderbird works with Windows 7. I just installed Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on my newly loaded Windows 7 machine with no problems. A simple adjustment to the C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming \Thunderbird\profiles.in file and I've got all my previous email, account settings and extensions.

To Greg - This is what worked for me:
Inside the profiles.ini file, at the bottom is a line that reads 'Path=Profiles/xxxxxxx.default' If you have put your profile in the
default location you only need change the end of that line to match the exact name of the profile you copied from you old computer (old OS, wherever). For example if your profile on the old computer was 1234abcd.default,
(and is now on the new computer in C:\users\{user}\appdata\roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles) the line should read:
Path=Profiles/1234abcd.default

If you put your profile in a specific spot of your choosing, you'll have to change two lines in the profiles.ini The path name will now be the location you chose, (with the slashes the other direction).
For example, if your Thunderbird profile is now in X:\important\xyz56789.default, the line should read:
Path=x:\important\xys5678.default
Also, change the line above, since the path is no longer relative,
but specific. It should read:
IsRelative=0

Note - if you just installed Thunderbird and can't find your profiles.ini file- 1) make sure you can view hidden files. 2) Start Thunderbird at least once.
It prompts if you want to import, say "don't import anything". Next it wants you to set up an email account, fill out the basic name, email address, etc, enough to get past the setup to a blank inbox. What you enter doesn't matter, it can be bogus names. (Also do not download new messages). This makes Thunderbird create the profile folder and the profiles.ini file.

I cannot print emails from Thunderbird on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition of the O/S
