Should I update Thunderbird 2006?

I have managed to set up the TB with the enigma and gpg on my stick.

Now when I open TB, it asks me to install update, since also this has in its original a new version.
While this update was without any problems with the FF which is now on 2009 and runs still fine on the stick, I have heard that updating the TB might destroy the compatibility with Enigma/gpg.

Any infos about this?

did backup first then..

it did work, provided that also emigmail is updatetd same time it seems.

The first attempt to update TB to 2009 failed, this is the short version update. This one hangs for ever.
ctr+alt+del , killed the task updater and started the TB again. This time it pops up with dialog saying it has to update it all, and pulls 8mb down and updates.
Then updateing enigmail to the latest version , restarted all and tested if all still works. Seems to work all again with no problem.
