Beyond that, and if an upgrade doesn't take care of it, I agree that you may get much better help on a TBird bugzilla or forum.
Yes... because the upgrade is worse, even safe-mode failed.
Can you suggest a Th forum?

Good luck.
I was lucky, thanks :-) I started by reading FAQs there. One said how to backup thunderbird, but it is basically saving the entire tree somewhere, which would reproduce the error. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=366405 How to get help (FAQ) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup From there I found this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird Profile folder - Thunderbird ...specifically the section "Files and folders in the profile", from which I learned of some files that could be deleted in case of problems. I deleted all those (after I copied the entire thing). Unfortunately I did not make a list of the exact files I deleted, I think these: - downloads.rdf Download history. Can be deleted to resolve slow downloads or program hangs Didn't have it. - extensions.rdf Installed extension information. It can be deleted to remove "ghost" entries from the extension list and to resolve various other issues. - localstore.rdf Toolbar and window layout size/position settings. It can be deleted to resolve various issues. - mimeTypes.rdf Action to perform when downloading certain types of files. Can be deleted to reset download actions. - panacea.dat Mail folder cache. Deleting it sometimes helps get rid of Phantom folders And it worked. :-))) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))
