tested the ebuild... works for me, but I get this "abnormal" output during the install: >>> Install mozilla-thunderbird-bin-0.8 into /tmp/portage/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-0.8/image/ category mail-client gnome * Extracting firefox-bin-0.8 initialization files tar: /usr/portage/mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin/files/thunderbird-bin-0.8-init.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors man: ...

I just tried to compile Tb 0.8 from source, but I got the same compile error that was reported for Firefox 0.10 in bug 63850. May have something to do with the --enable-single-profile configure option (haven't tried yet), but what does this option mean?
Created attachment 39649 [details] mozilla-thunderbird-0.8.ebuild source ebuild with "--enable-single-profile" included. this option appears to disable multiple profile support entirely, which could be construed as a Bad Thing(tm).
the source ebuild fails with >>> Downloading http://downloads.mozdev.org/enigmail/src/enigmail-0.86.0.tar.gz --18:22:06-- http://downloads.mozdev.org/enigmail/src/enigmail-0.86.0.tar.gz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/enigmail-0.86.0.tar.gz' Resolving downloads.mozdev.org... 167.206.76.23 Connecting to downloads.mozdev.org[167.206.76.23]:80... failed: Connection refused. !!!

Downloading enigmail works fine here, try: http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/mozdev/enigmail/src/enigmail-0.86.0.tar.gz
mozdev.org was down for a while today, hence the "connection refused".
Thanks for the ebuild, works for me. However, the first time I installed the ebuild, Tb wouldn't display any mails and segfaulted when I clicked on a toolbar button. I then reinstalled, and started Tb as root the first time, now it seems to run properly (don't know what the problem was, however). Anyone with similar experience? I found little information about the --enable-single-profile configuration option, but at least it is listed in the file mozilla/mail/config/mozconfig in the source tarball, so I suppose it is one of the standard options for building Tb. I also looked into some mozilla.org Tinderbox build logfiles, and they also use the option for configuring their official Tb (and Firefox) builds. So it's probably not a Bad Thing.
have the same problem. running as root doesn't help, i'm now trying recompiling and then running it as root right the first time. will report back then.
In regargs to Comment #9, I am also seeing similar issues. The folder list on the left was grey, and clicking get mail resulted in nothing at all. I found it 100% useless to me so I removed it and installed the last version I had. I was going to file a seperate bug on this, if you're aware of one let me know.

the missing mail problem is easily solved by doing <code>rm .thunderbird/default/foo.bar/compreg.dat</code> at least for me and <a href="http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=223512&highlight=&sid=2026c3b43d6e6dbcafccbba7e0b42fe8"> several other people on the forums</a>. as some others said, maybe the ebuild should do this?
bah, excuse my html.
Just wanted to mention I had roughly these problems (the first time I opened it with 0.8 it was totally empty, without folders or anything. after a close/open it showed folders, but hung on opening them, and clicking toolbar buttons would crash it). The compreg.dat removal worked beautifully.
Similar problem as in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63999#c14 First run of upgraded version crashed completely. Second run hung on compacting folders running forever. Third run hung on getting mail running forever. compreg.dat removal worked for me as well.
Thanks guys. I fixed mozilla-launcher so that it will recognize the first run of thunderbird after the program is updated. It will delete compreg.dat in that case so it can be rebuilt. It can't be done in the ebuild because the file lives in user home directories. It should be done at run-time which is why it's handled in mozilla-launcher. The updated version is 1.20 and is marked ~arch for testing
It only does it for thunderbird currently? You may want to make it so it does it for Firefox as well. I had some strange issues with 1.0pre and solved them the same way.
It's for all of them (firefox, sunbird, thunderbird, mozilla)
You might also want to look at the merits of removing chrome.rdf at the same time as compreg.dat. I had a problem moving from firefox 0.9x to 0.10x that was solved by removing chrome.rdf. There are a couple of bugs reported in the mozilla bugzilla that are also solved this way.
Good idea. Fixed in mozilla-launcher-1.21
