REINSTALL MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD UPDATE

Months ago, after a 'routine' TB update somehow went awry, I could not start TB on any subsequent session without meeting a conditional Safe Mode startup message ( see attached screen message ). '''Perhaps, I should mention the reason for reinstallation of Thunderbird. Of course, I also can use Revo Uninstaller to review system state after uninstallation, to locate any remaining encumbrances.''''

Is the best approach simply to use Windows Add/Remove (this is XP Pro, SP3), or should I make sure by wiping the TB application folder on the boot volume for good measure, and (carefully) removing certain TB keys from the registry, as well? That consideration is prompted by the thought TB in malfunction may no longer play by all the rules. So, I am imaging the system now, preparing to reinstall TB as detailed earlier. Since resetting toolbars and controls and restarting in Safe Mode did not slow TB access significantly, and since my query on the TB forum brought no solutions, I decided to wait, hoping the next update would simply flip the mysterious bit or two back to where they should have been after updating. Perhaps, I should mention the reason for reinstallation of Thunderbird. ( I don't know what happened to text I submitted here just an hour ago, but it is missing in action )

Except that, after reinstallation, I must direct TB to place all user data on drive D.īut does that take care of all the ISP-configured settings for POP3, IMAP and SMTP server for all my email accounts, as well? Is there anything I have omitted? Lest you believe I am putting all this on your shoulders, I plan to image the entire system before reinstalling TB, just in case. So, in theory, everything is already safe during a TB reinstallation. My current TB installation properly uses D for all data, with no problems. In my case, that backup already has been done- since I have limited space on the boot drive, I directed TB to keep all my data on another drive, which drive is labeled with the letter D. In my own case, however, found nothing which describes the procedure to the last detail, beyond making sure to back up / image the contents of my current profiles folder.Īccording to what I have read, once TB is reinstalled, I am simply to copy the contents (restore) to the new profiles folder created by the installation. Thunderbird is an open source project, which means anyone can contribute ideas, designs, code, and time helping fellow users.To save you time and effort, I have read through the general procedure for reinstalling Thunderbird (TB). It is of course possible to reinstall compatible add-ons via the Add-ons Manager or via. They will however be updated during the add-on update check.
