I have an old PC running windows 98SE and IE 6.2.2800.110615 (SP1). I want to set up email only for my old gran. I will be using Netzero (10 hours pm free) dial-up service and need an older version of Thunderbird as an email client. I believe I need version 2.0.0.6 but not sure. Where can I download this. Thank you.

OK Found out where to download the old version (2.0.0.6) on Filehippo. It has installed successfully.

Tb 2.0.024 was the last update for the ancient Tb 2.0 and not 2.0.0.6

There may be a light Linux distro you can use to use a more current version of Thunderbird and web browsers to be much less vulnerable.
