The error messages says it is trying to create some file, but that it already exists, and then, bombs out. What file? That's the big question, WHICH FILE!
The folders themselves are ok, as I am using thunderbird with all the folders, in safe-mode.
since the -safe-mode works, it implies that an extension or some other portion of thunderbird is hosed up. I'd suggest backup. backup again, since this seems to be pretty important stuff to you take a hot knife to the thunderbird directory and remove pretty much anything that isn't related to your mail data then try to start thunderbird in normal mode. and I don't mean to seem whiney, but wouldn't this problem get more traction on a thunderbird list somewhere? I'm making a bit of an assumption in thinking that there is one, sure, but I'm fairly sure that everything on this list will be fairly generic to Opensuse, while the problem seems to be very specific to thunderbird. -- Even the Magic 8 ball has an opinion on email clients: Outlook not so good. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
