unistalled and installed again, tried the following procedure both with the tar.gz and rpm version.
When logged in as root tb starts perfectly, if I link the shell script to the user and change permissions accordingly it crashes.
unlink your added link to <user> report result of: ls -l `which thunderbird` (those are back-tic's)

If thunderbird works w/o configuration, you have your answer
Tried that but this is what I got:
/usr/local/thunderbird # thunderbird --help bash: thunderbird: command not found
/usr/local/thunderbird is more than likely not in your PATH and does not lead to the executable. I do not use thunderbird, but there *probably* should be a link '/usr/bin/thunderbird' to the executable and it *should* be executable by *all*.
On a different note - is there another mail programme that enables me to share pop3 mails between linux and win?
I do not know why anyone would want to, but yes, with minor manipulation, mutt, kmail, mozilla, netscape and several other should. Looks like you are using mozilla now. It is/was capable of sharing with windoz. I have used mutt for so long now that I am not very familiar with the other clients (except a little kmail that my wife uses). I can just add soft links into my ~/mail/ directory and see/use other mailboxes, even to a vfat partition. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
