This container will download and install Thunderbird from the preferred branch and language.
UPDATE: Please use the built in updater to update Thunderbird itself.
ATTENTION: If you want to change the language, you have to delete every file in the 'thunderbird' directory except the 'profile' folder.
RESOLUTION: You can also change the resolution from the WebGUI, to do that simply click on 'Show more settings...' (on a resolution change it can occur that the screen is not filled entirely with the Thunderbird window, simply restart the container and it will be fullscreen again).

Please be sure to create the password first inside the container, to do that open up a console from the container (Unraid: In the Docker tab click on the container icon and on 'Console' then type in the following):
- su $USER
- vncpasswd
- ENTER YOUR PASSWORD TWO TIMES AND PRESS ENTER AND SAY NO WHEN IT ASKS FOR VIEW ACCESS
Unraid: close the console, edit the template and create a variable with the Key: TURBOVNC_PARAMS and leave the Value empty, click Add and Apply.
All other platforms running Docker: create a environment variable TURBOVNC_PARAMS that is empty or like this:
--env 'TURBOVNC_PARAMS=-securitytypes VNC'
This Docker was mainly edited for better use with Unraid, if you don't use Unraid you should definitely try it!
