Having had the same promlem (and even the same temporary "solution" with -bin :) ), I discovered that - although I save all my mails away into a separate, distinct "local" folder - the folders were _not_ empty, but contained really old mails; this even after "compacrting" all folders. Manually, I deleted all *.msf, all content left-over in the subfolders of my mail accounts, un-merged -bin and re-emerged from source: voila! I guess that alternatively moving the existing ~/.thunderbird out of the way, freshly setting up the accounts would have been an equivalent repair; but now, I can't cross-check that any more ;) Would be nice if you could walk this alternative road ? Additional hint / observation : In another bug related to thunderbird : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246421#c5 gcc x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ 4.3.x is "suspected guilty": "Mine was 4.3.2, his was 4.2.4. I switched to 4.2.4 as well, re-emerged thunderbird and enigmail,and voila... it works fine. So apparently this is a gcc-4.3 issue." If you can still reproduce this with 3.0 please update summary and reopen. |
