Today, the lucid thunderbird update helper asked if I wanted to reimport thunderbird-2 profile settings or keep the thunderbird-3-beta ones. I selected the latter, thunderbird did not start. I then found the self-referencing symlink .thunderbird and deleted it. Thunderbird seems to have created a new profile in .thunderbird-3.0. My normal thunderbird profile is now in .thunderbird-2.0-replaced. thunderbird starts with an empty profile. Thunderbird seems to have created a new profile in .thunderbird. I removed .thunderbird-3 and put a copy of .thunderbird-2.0-replaced there. thunderbird-3.0 does start and opens my profile, however this is pre3 shredder. I got it fixed then by putting a symlink to .thunderbird-3.0 at .thunderbird, don’t know though why that had to happen.
