It was caused by old stuff in my profile. In the past I used to copy the SM2.0 alpha version straight to disk, over an existing installation (I can't recall which version that was originally, but likely a 2.0 alpha also), while having a converted profile from 1.1.18. No problem. But once, I tried to use the installer, and after that the binary would just not start. I solved it by clearing out the entire program directory, doing a fresh install, and some tinkering in my profile folder, but I don't recall it exactly. I believe I had it recreate my prefs.js after renaming the old file. This might also have involved recreating the mail accounts.
