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.
