have you remove the other version of thunderbird?

i would go to your terminal under your applications and unistall the 3.0 if you can and then build the other package

sorry i dont know the exact command

Why was this aimed at me specifically. This is a public forum for anyone to contribute.

There is the tar.gz way, just extract the file somewhere and point /usr/bin/thunderbird to the binary in the extracted folder:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/2.0b2/linux-i686/en-US
