No one is answering, so I'll take a shot at it. Have you got the 
fedorafaq.org or equivalent yum.conf? If I recall correctly, my 
Thunderbird was upgraded to 1.0 through the normal yum upgrade process. 
I think the repos fedorafaq uses are not only faster (less congested) 
but may also be a bit more on the edge. Someone else may contradict 
this, but that's my experience.
