You didn't say _why_ you could not rollback or downgrade. What error did you get? As a last resort, it should be possible to download older packages and apply them with "rpm --oldpackage -Uvh …": * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/thunderbird * http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=39 And what is 7.0.1-1.fc16? Thunderbird is at 17.0.2-1.fc16 currently. The previous release for F16 was 17.0-1.fc16, not 17.0.1-1.fc16. The missing leading '1' makes me curious. ;) Further, does the new Thunderbird work for you in a fresh user account?
