When I try this, I get a message when I restart Thunderbird that says an

but I get the same message.

1. Try running thunderbird from a terminal so you can see the output
from the shell script.  If that doesn't help, edit
/usr/bin/thunderbird and add "set -ex" somewhere near the top.

2. Try running "thunderbird -ProfileManager". This might help the the
profile get rebuilt.

3. Are there any running instances of thunderbird?

I tried changing profiles.ini as a normal user and as root and I get the
same results.

I just tried it on my machine by moving my profile to /tmp and it worked.

I still have access to all of my e-mails (old and new) and I think I am
just going to start over with a NEW shared e-mail storage area and try
again.  If I figure this out, I will definitely post my results.

I wouldn't do that just yet. Maybe the issue has nothing to do with
the profile. I've seen this error on Mozilla products on *nix a
million times. You can usually fix them.
