Eh, unfortunately I don't understand what could happened in your case...
I've been using TB since it first "came out" from the Netscape closet, and I have been using the same /.thunderbird directory contents, after a monumental disaster under Windows XP that is where I had to start from scratch :-( , for many years now and which involved changing from XP to oS, to Kubuntu, and, now, to Ubuntu, and including a change of ISP.
The same results apply to my wife's system (except for the 'collapse' under XP) because I "administer" her computer; what she had for TB back in the '90's is now still running on her current Ubuntu Lucid (10.04).
Yes, this Th setup is not that old. On another computer it is older.
What you are experiencing is not normal.
May I suggest, seeing that you do have a backup of your /.thunderbird directory, in particular the directories containing your mail, uninstall TB, re-install it, and put back either the full ~/.thunderbird directory or at least rebuild the new one with the backed-up mail files?
But you know all this - I don't have to tell you how to suck eggs.
I'm trying to avoid all that. What puts me back is having to reconfigure again all accounts. You know, server name, login, then the thing insists on trying to find itself the account settings... Then add the extra identities. Add things like the different signatures. All modified settings (if any) on all tabs.
Instead of having a nice text file with all account settings that I can simply copy over or create with an editor. No XML.
Then add the nntp-forums, on which I have messages marked for replies. All them get lost.
It is *hours* of work.
And I already know it is a java error in chrome, but I know not about which file it is complaining.
Sorry Amigo Carlos, but what the heck are you talking about - or at least what is it that I missed reading so far in this thread? What "java error in *chrome*"?! Aren't we talking about *Thunderbird*? so where does 'chrome' come into it?!
Yes, I googled. One single entry, no conclusion, 5 months ago.
Are you replying to my post or someone else's? I made no mention of 'googling' for anything... :-( . (Me thinks that you are in need of some "quiet time" :-D .)
