I finally got around to doing some more testing after I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.x to 10.x and now Thunderbird wont work right.

It wont let me see the messages correctly. its slow and takes forever to load.

What do i need to do to correct this?

Do i need to remove it and reload?
Will I lose all my email and my account settings?
Anyone else have issue with Thunderbird after upgrading?

Thunderbird 3 uses ~/.thunderbird instead of ~/.mozilla/thunderbird, did your settings and files get transfered to the new directory? I've been using essentially the same email storage directory since Thunderbird was in beta, it just gets backed up and restored to newer versions/distros, I've never had the problem you are describing after the first start up.
