Ubuntu :: (GNOME) Thunderbird For Two Users - "Thunderbird Is Already Running But Is Not Responding"
Sep 9, 2010
I run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.

I'm trying to install Thunderbird on my mom's desktop. She has been using Outlook Express for years, and I want her to get away from that as well as Windows in general (her computer has a true 1.8 GHZ single-core processor and only 512MB of ram). The first thing I did was install Thunderbird on her XP partition, then I copied the .default file to a flash drive and copied it into the folder where I saw that Thunderbird had another .default folder in (although I never created a user for it). I deleted that folder and replaced it with the .default folder from her XP system. I then went to load Thunderbird, and it gave me the error message that is in the title.
I restarted Ubuntu, and it still gave me the same error message. I then deleted Thunderbird from the Synaptic, Software Center, and Terminal. Every time I went to re-install it I got the same message when I tried to open the program. I did find a couple of threads here that had problems with the same error, but it was after they upgraded the software.I found a lot of threads on Google on how to convert from Outlook to Thunderbird, but most of them were 2-3 years old, and the instructions were useless.

Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.

I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?

I have installed 11.4, and it seems (seemed) to work OK so far. I installed Thunderbird via the opensuse "1 click install". the installation ran smoothly, but now a click on the Thunderbird icon does not activate any mail client; the only success is that Thunderbird icon jumps joyfully and then disappears.

I am running MozillaThunderbird-3.0.9-0.3.1 under gnome-desktop-2.24.1-2.18.1 on OpenSUSE 11.1. Up to about a month or so ago, I was using the latest version of Thunderbird 2.x, but an OpenSUSE update updated it to Thuderbird 3.0.9 and I've had troubles ever since.
Just to make sure that it wasn't a problem related to any plugins, I disabled all the plugins I was using, but the problem still persists.The problem I have is as soon as I reply to any message in any of my Inboxes, I can no longer view any other message--read or unread, in either the main view window or in a separate tab. This behavior is repeatable with about 90% consistency.
My speculation is that the is some strange interaction going on between Thunderbird and something else. It's hard for me to believe that this is the way that Thunderbird behaves on all operating systems as I'm sure the Thunderbird developers would have fixed it and most likely if would have been picked up by the OpenSUSE team. But hey, I could be wrong.
I'm not even sure if this is the right place to report this. But it's very annoying as the only way I've found to correct it is to restart Thunderbird.Anyhow, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or heard about behavior like this. If so, what did you do to resolve it?
P.S.- I tried to search this site but found too many hits for "thunderbird 3" to be useful.

I installed the latest version of Thunderbird by downloading the tarball and copying the contents to the required folder and just point launchers to the Thunderbird file.
However I cannot get GNOME Do to run Thunderbird. When I type run in Gnome Do, I go through the entire list without having Thunderbird as an option. The only plugin I can find is one that allows you to copy Thunderbird contacts to the clipboard.
I have set Thunderbird to be my default mail client, so when I type an email address I can choose to compose a mail in GNOME Do, but just opening up Thunderbird to check mail is not possible.

Noticed this last night, when I try and launch either Firefox or Thunderbird using the GNOME menu or the quick launch icons, it fails. I am able to launch them both from the command line in a terminal. Other applications seem to launch fine, so I'm at a bit of a loss where to begin taking this apart... I do get a task in the task bar that says "Launching Firefox", but then nothing comes up. The same thing happens with Thunderbird. That task just goes away. Another odd thing - following a reboot the launch buttons work once. If I close them, they won't launch again unless I run them from a terminal window.

After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.

Work has decided to allow a few of us to get RSS feeds, and their reader of preference at this stage is Thunderbird (on XP).Couple of quesions:
1) Does anyone here use Thunderbird for RSS? Have your experiences with it been good or bad?
2) Seem to recall from a brief stint (ie less than a week) using it few years ago it used to pop up a window notifying you of new items received in the feeds, but I'm unable to make it do that now,Am I missing something really obvious, or am I mistaken in thinking it used to notify me of new feed items?

I just recently configured Thunderbird to work in the Messaging Applet via this tutorial.[URL]It works great and is very convenient.However the entry in the applet disappears after I close Thunderbird's window. I was wondering if there was a way to run Thunderbird without the gui so all I would have is the indicator in the messaging applet.When I get an email then it would notify me and I would click on it and it would reopen the Thunderbird window

I just download Thunderbird 3 and a file named as thunderbird-3.0.tar.bz2 got downloaded.
But I do not know how to install this file. I am very new to Ubuntu and recently migrated from Windows Vista to Ubuntu 9.10.
I know how to install the .deb files but how do I install the source code files.
I already got some answers from various websites... but they are too confusing, since I am very new to Linux and do not know much about it. But I am trying to learn.
So please suggest me a simple solution.

After months of consideration I finally decided to replace TheBat with Thunderbird 3.1 but I did not get far as I cannot even add an account.I have some gmail accounts and whey I try to add them, Thunderbird greenlights Incoming and outgoing servers, but then it circles endlessly at username. It happens with all my gmail accounts (IMAP is enabled).

After upgrading to 10.04, Thunderbird crashes every 20 minutes or so. No mozilla crash reporter pops up... it just dies. No idea why. I filed a bug, but nothing seems to be happening with it. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one experience this level of instability.

I haven't installed Email yet on ubuntu 10.04.1. When I do so I was planning to install Thunderbird. According to the prerequisite on - [URL] Thunderbird 3.0 should be installed and operational before upgrading to version 3.1.7. However on checking in available version to download via Software Center, the version there appears to be 3.1.7 already. Does that mean version 3.0 isn't a prerequisite after all? If it is, where can it be obtained or is just a simple download from Software Center to install 3.1.7?

Upon opening Thunderbird today, no single folder (inbox, trash, local folders, etc.) is showing.The mail accounts are all still correctly registered, the search function finds the messages. Yet, the folders (in oder to browse the mail accounts, check for new messages, etc.) are not showing up.The folder pane is showing, but empty. I can toggle between 'Unified Folders', 'All Folders', 'Unread Folders', etc., but they are all empty.

Ive been running 11.04 and �unity� Desktop a few months now, and now I�d like to choose a good email client. I want something that will handle my Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail accounts as well as my old POP accounts. I want something that�s easy to hookup to all those old accounts and allow me to move emails between mailboxes (I have a few mailboxes and some of them have rules about auto-directing emails into them). I used T�Bird a few years/releases ago and it was fine for POP/SMTP, but I never got the Webmail hookups to work. Which is best? Thunderbird or Evolution?

By gross mistake I delated ALL my emails in my gmail account. I did this from thunderbird 3 so I deleted emails in the computer and the server. Fortunately my home folder still has the thunderbird 2 folder and and weighs 1.5 gigas with files callled inbox and sent mail weighting hundred of megas, so my emails ARE there.Problem is, when I open Thunderbird 2 the emails don't appear there. How can I get them back and into Google servers too?
