mozilla-thunderbird doesn't start [solved]

I'm having trouble starting thunderbird in my wife's account.

 

If I move .thunderbird to .thunderbird.old, it starts fine - but as if it's the first time, so without all old emails - which is an obvious no-go....

 

I just installed Mandriva 2007; before that, she was using 2006; I did a clean install.

 

What should I do to get things going?

I managed - just did

mv .thunderbird .thunderbird.old

 

then started thunderbird, not creating anything - no new account, nothing.

 

then copied the data dir inside .thunderbird.old to the new .thunderbird folder, and renamed it to the data dir there.

 

Lo and behold, it worked.

 

Thanks for reading ;)
