Actually, it's a "run _first_ as root" thing. :-) I suspect it's a matter of folder permissions and creation at play.

I love Thunderbird, but the upgrade difficulties often encountered -- as well as the difficulties with the /chrome folder with respect to extensions and upgrading _them_ (often requiring deletion of the folder and RE-installing all of the extensions, sometimes as user, sometimes as root, sometimes in the profile, sometimes not, blah, blah, blah), can be a real pain in the behind, agreed.
Nevertheless, I still love Thunderbird. If Sylpheed (and/or claws) would only be a little less butt-ugly :-), and provide better HTML support (unlikely to happen, it seems), I'd switch in a heartbeat.
