Personally, the only way I knew of was to build your own RPM. As none
of the repositories seem to want to bother with Thunderbird 0.9 I gave
up and built my own using the instructions @
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/thunderbird/
I plan on using said instructions as a base for building my own RPMs for
other software in the future.
It was surprisingly easy.
