We need a KB article on Thunderbird 3 for Windows 7 Users (e.g. UAC, compatibility mode, any 64 bit stuff, etc)

Comment 1

[Michael A. Pasek]

Shouldn't the OS/Platform be "Windows" instead of "Mac" ?

[Tom Ellins [:TMZ]]

Rafael: any updates on this?

Created https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/FAQ+Thunderbird+and+Windows+7?bl=n, which basically says "yes, TB works on Win 7". I will also create an article that explains how to transfer the address book and messages.
