open a terminal and run "thunderbird -p"

You'll see buttons that allow you to both create and delete profiles.

open a terminal and run "thunderbird -p"

You'll see buttons that allow you to both create and delete profiles.

doing normal p gives you this error: run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1.5/thunderbird-bin.pure.


Has to be a capital thunderbird -P just checked man thunderbird to confirm

Check the Software Center or synaptic to see if it's installed. If "which thunderbird" returns nothing and thunderbird is installed, check your PATH environmental variable. In Oneiric, thunderbird is in /usr/bin. That path should be in PATH.
