Yesterday, I ran an update on my desktop, using F 16 that included an
update to Thunderbird. The new version wouldn't run, but I was able
to get it back by downgrading.
I updated again, today (I do it every morning while my breakfast's
cooking.) and Tbird "updated" again. Same issue, but now, I can't
downgrade or roll back the transaction. Tbird on my main computer is
DOA. I've opened a bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907043 and am using my
laptop for email. (No, I'm not allowing Tbird to update here until
it's back up on the desktop.) I don't know what's causing it, but I
thought I'd put out a warning so that nobody else has to get caught by
it, or open a duplicate report if they do.
The contamination normally happens in the ~/.thunderbird directory.
go in and save Your Mail directory and abook.mab file and Delete your
whole .thunderbird directory , then restart Thunderbird and it will
recreate a new .thunderbird directory then reinsert your Saved Mail
directory and abook.mab back into the default directory and you'll be on
your way.
Of course you won't do this because your to scared you'll screw it up worst.
I do this all the time to fix problems with thunderbird.
