For both of them you will get your updates much quicker if you manually go to About every few hours. Also it may be that they both only ever check when they are starting up. So, since some people leave Thunderbird running for days on end in the background, that may be why Thunderbird seems not to tell them about available updates. -- Brian Gregory (in England).
