Addendum: in view of your success, I went on and updated my Thunderbird, taking the necessary precautions (reverting the profiles.ini file to the original settings). It went without a hitch. Then, I decided to get creative, and try a new hypothesis... setting up TB so the Seamonkey profile would be listed on the profiles.ini, but as a SECONDARY profile. Well, it didn't work. It seems Copernic only indexes the default TB profile. Had to set it up again as the primary TB profile... And... while messing with it, I accidentally *DID* start TB with the SM profile. And now I can confirm it: it DID mess my profile a bit, although not seriously -- changed my theme to "Modern" for some reason, triggered that "checking your add-ons after update" thing and such. I didn't notice anything SERIOUS, I was back to normal in a couple minutes. But it may be too early to tell if there were any more important consequences. Anyway, now I have actual data to recommend NOT opening Thunderbird after setting it up for the Copernic workaround. I don't think it will cause dataloss, but it IS a bother. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
