When I try this, I get a message when I restart Thunderbird that says an instance of Thunderbird is already running and that I should close that one and try again. I then completely reboot the system and try again 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. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
