Gregor, If you move the existing profile and make a new one does this fix the issue? A couple of things sound possible, 1. profile became corrupt and that is why it is crashing(ther eis another bug or 2 like that with thunderbird upgrades. Or 2. an extension or theme is causing this crash. Im gonna have to assume you are still on dapper since the crash log wasnt saved. Apport saves the crash log and was introduced in edgy. Your going to have a hard time getting a backtrace since ther eis no mozilla- thunderbird-dbg package the -dbggsym package is ok but still only availible on feisty and since thunderbird deoends on libc6 you will not beable to install it and still have a working system as libc6 is a main lib in ubuntu and is not interchangable between versions. I am going to close this bug for now due to lack of information needed to process this further. Please reopen bug if you can attach a crash report or you have more info at hand that would help us process this bug further.
