Running thunderbird-bin is always wrong.
Figured as much, but it was the only thing giving me feedback.
Running thunderbird should work. If it does not, please try to start
from a different user account where you haven't used thunderbird
before.
If that helps, maybe you have a messy extension installed. try
launching thunderbird -safe-mode in order to see if that is the
case.
I downloaded the source from mozilla and installed and that worked. It
occurs to me that prior to upgrading thunderbird via dselect it was
pulling configuration and mail folders from ~/.mozilla-thunderbird. I
noticed that the source install set up a .thunderbird directory. So I
moved the old directory to this new location and voila! the debian
version runs fine now. It would have been nice to know that this was
the problem, but c'est la vi.
This defect can be close if you want. If you need more feedback, let me
know.
