I have a PowerPC Mac running 10.5.8. I've used Eudora for over a decade, but it's very antique, and apparently RoadRunner just did some security updates, so now I can receive but not send.

Thunderbird's System Requirement page says it should run on my computer, but when I download it I get "You cannot use this version of the application Thunderbird with this version of Mac OS X."

Am I doing something wrong, or is the system requirement page incorrect?

The versions start at 10.6 by my reading http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/internet/highspeed/networking/troubleshooting/portforwarding/123866.htm#

Perhaps tenfourbird http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/tenfourbird/

Tenfourbird is unofficial build of Mozilla Thunderbird for PowerPC based Mac OS X.
