This article describes how to go back to an old version of Thunderbird, including how to deal with problems that may occur due to changes to your profile. Whatever version of Thunderbird you re-install, it will automatically find and reuse your profile (it contains your mail, address books, settings, saved passwords, add-ons etc.), which is not deleted when you uninstall or reinstall Thunderbird.
Its also possible to keep the current version, and do a custom installation of a older version in a different directory to see if your problem is due to the latest version of Thunderbird or not. If you set extensions.strictCompatibility false using the config editor to let you install add-ons that don't explicitly state they support version 60 or later that value may get reset to its default value (true). You will need to set it false again when you run the current version of Thunderbird. If you try a really old version its possible you might have the same problems with the settings (mainly gfx.direct2d.disabled and layers.acceleration.disabled) to enable graphics acceleration. Those are the only two sets of settings that you need to worry about being reset due to the default value changing for a different version. If its a frequent problem you could set them in the optional user.js file. Any settings set by that file override the default values and whatever is set using the config editor and/or prefs.js.
See this article if you want to go back to an old version of Firefox.

Starting with version 35.1.0 you can not install Thunderbird if you are using XP SP2 (rather than SP3) or are using a version of Vista that does not have the KB2763674 patch due to new signing. The workaround is to install version 38.5.0 and then upgrade. However, that does not let you choose a specific version. [1][2]
Go back to a recent release
(3.1.* or later) Except for a backend extension in TB 12.0 (see the note below), all changes in 3.1.* and later versions affect just add-ons and the optional useChrome.css file. This makes it easy to reuse the same profile with an older version.
If you couldn't figure out the right locale go to the download page for the fully localized version of the latest version of Thunderbird, hover the mouse over the download link for your locale and see what lang= is set to. That is the locale code.
[edit]
From 3.x to 2.0.0.24
Follow the directions in the prior section to download a setup program for 2.0.0.24, but don't install it yet.

Mozilla Thunderbird Editor's ReviewThunderbird Older Versions Mac Download Version
Mozilla Thunderbird is an Open Source e-mail client developed by Mozilla Corporation.
Thunderbird provides you an interface that looks like the built in Mail application. This interface is very flexible and you can select various settings that can modify its look. Thunderbird can offer even more functionality than a regular e-mail client. It has built in an RSS/Atom Client which can be used in order to read your newsfeeds and blogs. Another nice thing about it is the fact that it’s powered by the Gecko engine. Mozilla uses this engine for all its products so Thunderbird isn't an exception. An HTML based e-mail or a newsfeed uses this rendering engine for displaying the content. You have the same extension support that you can find in Mozilla Firefox. Not all Firefox extensions are compatible with Thunderbird though. There are some of them that are specially designed for this application and they can extend its functionality. The skin support is also the same as the one used by Firefox. You can customize it by installing a new theme every time you want. You can also find lots of additions for this client in Mozilla's own add-ons page. Mozilla didn't forget about the supported technologies either. You can use e-mail accounts that require secure connections. Thus, if you do have an account that requires this type of connections, then you can use it because SSL and TLS are supported. Both POP 3 and IMAP 4 e-mail protocols are supported by this application. You can pick which type of account you have, when you add it manually or by choosing it from the account's preferences panel. The outgoing SMTP server is easy to set up. You can use the provided settings for that account such, as the user name, server and type of connection. The SMTP configuration is also featuring the support for SSL and TLS cryptographic security protocols. If your account is well configured you can use it without any trouble. I strongly recommend you to be very careful what settings you make for the client in every account. If you do have an e-mail account with a Web interface, then maybe you shouldn't delete the e-mail server's copy, especially if you use that address for online purchasing. In order to keep you safe, Mozilla implemented an anti-phishing protection filter. The client tries to alert you if it discovers that the message is a common e-mail scam. The other protection tool is the built in anti-spam filter, which makes it so you won't be bothered again, just by checking certain messages as spam. This new version of Thunderbird provides more protection that the first version because the Bayesian filters are improved. Pluses: it's a fully featured Open Source mail client, it has a good support for cryptographic security protocols, it has automatic profile configuration for Gmail and .Mac. It's quite easy to configure and it has a very good community support by using Mozilla's IRC server and the Thunderbird channel. Other great things about this client are the built in anti-phishing and anti-spam filters. Drawbacks / flaws: sometimes the client is slow while loading a module. In conclusion: with these features it can successfully replace the default Mac Mail application or your newsfeed reader, that is, if you would like Thunderbird's functionality. The second version of this application also brings an improved user interface that is a little bit easier to use than the previous interface. version reviewed: 2.0.0.0
