Prior to today, thunderbird was running from files extracted from a tar.gz downloaded from mozilla.com into ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, which is also where my mail profile/folder is. apt-get removed those files (not the mail folders) and set up to run as below. First attempt to get it going this morning was by re-extracting from the tar.gz into ~/.mozilla-thunderbird. It will run, but throws the error "failed to connect to server". That was v2.0.0.4. So I got the latest v2.0.0.17 this evening, extracted into ~/mozilla-thunderbird. Files owned by root, so (getting desperate and considering a re-install):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo chown -R roger:roger /home/roger/.mozilla-thunderbird/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo chmod -R 774 /home/roger/.mozilla-thunderbird/ Still, "failed to connect to server"...
