I finally upgraded to thunderbird-2.0.0.6 (from 1.5.*) and it all worked well for a day. Today (which probably was the 2nd start of tb-2) *some* mails got lost. It looks as if they are still in ~/.thunderbird/... but they are not displayed. This issue only concerns some, not all local directories. Please help me, these mails are important... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: The mails stay missing, no matter how often I restart tb. If the upgrade error is reproducible I don't want to test. $> emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.8 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r6 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz Timestamp of tree: Sat, 08 Sep 2007 08:50:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r4 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="confcache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Linux/Gentoo ftp://gentoo.netnitco.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo/source/ ftp://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/gentoo/" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3 -l 4.0" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /home/igel/gentoo-haskell" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 amr apm avahi bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdda cdr cli cracklib crypt css cups dbus directfb dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread encode ffmpeg firefox flac flash ftp gdbm gif gnome gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 hal hddtemp howl iconv icq ipv6 isdnlog jabber java jpeg jpeg2k libnotify live lm_sensors logrotate mad midi mmx mozilla mp3 mpeg mudflap musepack mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia offensive ogg openal opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png pppd python readline reflection samba session spl sse sse2 ssl stream svg tcpd theora threadsafe tiff truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vcd vim vim-syntax vorbis wxwindows xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Could you clarify why is this a Gentoo bug? It doesn't happen with mozilla-firefox-bin, or you have some other special reason?
