Accident sent to Patrick's email. Sending to list now. There was no instance of Thunderbird open (only .thunderbird folder transfered) when this error dialog displayed. I had passed zypper in thunderbird ....waited for that to finish, went to start menu > Internet

Thunderbird ....error message. I think it has something to do with Thunderbird initial start context box not being not being completed. By renaming the .thunderbird folder and restarting Thunderbird there was no error dialog. Thunderbird started and presented the Name, email, password context (This is for Mozilla retaining information is case of possible abuse situations?). Once filled I closed Thunderbird, renamed .thunderbird.bak to .thunderbird , then restarted Thunderbird with accounts from migration in place.

Thunderbird's first execution I think asks for this by default? Where is that data kept though? It is *not* kept in .thunderbird I believe.
