Nope. You can just get the tunderbird release and extract it. It will
create a thunderbird folder with a thunderbird executable file inside it
among other files. You can put this thunderbird folder anywhere in your
file system and execute thunderbird inside it from command line. That
simple! :) You can create a link in your desktop to this file too. It
used to have icons in the distributed tar.gz, but now I can't find them
anymore. I'm using another icon I found for thunderbird.
