Removing Evolution Prior to Installing Thunderbird in Ubuntu (11.04 to 11.10)

Using Synaptic (or CLI, doesn’t matter), remove all of the packages with “evolution” in their name, with the exception of:

  • evolution-data-server
  • evolution-data-server-common

You may also need to enter

  • sudo rm /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution
to get rid of Evolution in the mail manner.

Installing Thunderbird in the usual manner should go smoothly after that.  I don’t remember if it asks to be the default, but if it doesn’t, just go to Preferred Applications and make the necessary change.
