brobably yes. > And possible bug #2 is: Why did the old profile have such an influence? > The new profile had the correct version in prefs.js only the old one had > 31.6.0 in the prefs. Then profiles.ini must have point to the other profile I think. In days of version 3 there was a lot of trouble with the prefs.js I can remember. It's much much better these days but surly there a situations there Thunderbid/Icedove isn't working correctly. Quite the same happen to the addressbooks, but most of the time you didn't mention it. You will have severial files abook*.mab. The 'why' is the big question. :-) If we could readjust the behaviour reproducable then we would know that the issue is. But it's a complex structure! The source is now over 700MB !! We are happy if we can package upstream version near the release date. We just haven't enough time to jump into such errors that are extremly time consuming. And there are other bug reports that are also worth to investigate. > And profiles.ini points to the new profile: > > [General] > StartWithLastProfile=1 > > [Profile0] > Name=default > IsRelative=1 > Path=[new profile ID].default > > Maybe it could be worth to look into this. If we would have more time then yes, but such small but annoying issues are taking too much time. The packaging team behind Icedove are mostly only two persons. But if you can digg deeper into the issue and find out some more information then just let us know! You can join me/us on DebCamp right before the DebConf this year in Heidelberg!
