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.

On a whim, I tried to create a directory on my separate partition as a
normal user and I received a Permission denied error.
The entry in /etc/fstab for this partition:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 vfat,ext3,ext2 defaults 0 0
I am wondering if this all boils down to a permission issue. Also
looking at /etc/group I can see that I (rblythe) am not part of the disk
group, but accoding to /etc/udev/rules.d/25-lfs.rules, the hd[a - z]
items belong to the "disk" group. I can make directories on /dev/hda12
(where {B}LFS is) without problem. I am not sure what needs to be
defined in order for me to mkdir on /mnt/hda2.
Also, I am running Thunderbird from a terminal. I do not have a window
manager or desktop environment installed yet. There is no output in the
terminal when I am running Thunderbird. Also, when I run thunderbird
-profilemanager, I get a menu showing me the only created user (default)
and options to create, rename, or delete the user. If I click on start
Thunderbird, it does the obvious and starts Thunderbird.
And one more thing, looking at the /etc/fstab from my host, the entry
for the drive looks like this:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 vfat,ext3,ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
The only problem with that is that I have to manually mount the drive
before starting Thunderbird, and I am trying to avoid that with my own
build.
Thanks again for the help.
