Now looking into ~./thunderbird instead I see several more profiles. ``` nicholas@guix14 ~/.thunderbird$ ls bv7r86h9.default/ installs.ini profiles.ini gdmykixq.default-default-1/ k6sjw3jm.default-default/ nicholas@guix14 ~/.thunderbird$ cat profiles.ini [Profile2] Name=3Ddefault-default-1 IsRelative=3D1 Path=3Dgdmykixq.default-default-1 [Profile1] Name=3Ddefault IsRelative=3D1 Path=3Dbv7r86h9.default Default=3D1 [Profile0] Name=3Ddefault-default IsRelative=3D1 Path=3Dk6sjw3jm.default-default [Install281FC43567D8867D] Default=3Dgdmykixq.default-default-1 Locked=3D1 [General] StartWithLastProfile=3D1 Version=3D2 [Install3F4F07DFB18472B1] Default=3Dk6sjw3jm.default-default Locked=3D1 ``` Launching icedove with `icedove -p` and then iterating through the 3 listed= profiles all leads to a blank profile, except for default-default. The def= ault-default profile contains all of my mail account and settings. I now set default-default to be my main profile (resolving my issue) but I = doubt this is what users expect the software to do. Is it possible that icedove creates a new profile on upgrades and sets it a= s default? I definitely did not manually create 3 profiles. Kind regards, Nicholas
