Right, 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. Patrick Shanahan wrote:
Run from the command-line, thurnerbird --help find command-line parameters to start w/o any configuration and initiate thunderbird with no configuration, ie: thunderbird --XX /dev/null
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 Am I thick??? TB must be getting so many crash notifications from me I am surprised they haven't asked me not to bother anymore... On a different note - is there another mail programme that enables me to share pop3 mails between linux and win? cheers ingo
