Update: I returned the Win-10 T420 for credit and set about solving the
pop-up email
problem.
Here's what didn't work: Move the profiles.ini file and gibberish.default
folder to
a safe place (to a folder I called IceDoveFiles in another HDD inside the
"old" T420)
with terminal's mv command, using two open terminal windows side-by-side to
reduce
the chance of sending something to oblivion. Uninstall icedove; restart the
'puter;
reinstall icedove. Alas, as soon as I try to open a folder with trisquel's
file
manager, that pesky window pops up again. As an interesting aside, that
caused another
profiles.ini file to appear in .icedove before I has a chance to move the
correct
profiles.ini file back where it belongs; I renamed the intervening
profiles.ini file
to avoid any conflict.
Here's my workaround: The pesky email window does _not_ appear with the
alternative
file manager, PCManFM, so I have a working file manager.
Thoughts on cleansing trisquel's default file manager ?
Thanks
