I had a problem with logging in the Thunderbird Mail on my PC that has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I checked in the internet about this issue and got to know that the Thunderbird Mail version must be 38 or higher to support Gmail. So, I want to know how to check the Thunderbird Mail version. I would also like to get different options.

One easy way: http://packages.ubuntu.com
Package thunderbird
bionic-updates (mail): Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter
1:68.4.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x
Another easy way: The rmadison
command (included with the devscripts
package)
$ rmadison thunderbird | grep bionic-updates
thunderbird | 1:68.4.1+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 | bionic-updates | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
You can check available and installed version with apt:
apt-cache policy thunderbird
Or if you want to see complete information and what it depends on:
apt show thunderbird
As Joker said: apt show thunderbird
is probably what you are looking for
dpkg -s <packagename>
is an alternative
