New to Mozilla Thunderbird.
Hello, I recently installed Thunderbird and noticed that it was installed as 32bit. Does it not have a 64bit? Also, when will the ability to import mail from another client (Microsoft Windows LiveMail) be available?

The 32 and 64-bit versions are downloaded here: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ but there's no significant performance advantage with 64-bit.

@sfhowes Thank you very much. I'm not sure why the 64bit wasn't installed originally from the installer.
If I install the 64bit version, do I need to uninstall and reinstall? I'll try importing the WLM folders and mail.
At the moment, there are separate installers, but in the future there may be a single one that chooses according to the OS.
If you uninstall the 32-bit, the profile data aren't affected, so that when the 64-bit is installed, it should read the existing profile, but I haven't confirmed this on my own system.
