i'm still waiting for thunderbird 2 to be put in the repos. i've downloaded and used 2.0, but it didn't have a settings and email importer from other thunderbirds. i sopose it will be in the repos pretty soon, right? :D

That's an easy fix!

Just close Thunderbird and paste these commands into the terminal (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/terminal):
mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.whoops
ln -s ~/.mozilla-thunderbird ~/.thunderbird Then restart Thunderbird 2.0 again. It should have all your old settings and emails.

The problem is that the Ubuntu Thunderbird stores your profile in the /home/mykalreborn/.mozilla-thunderbird folder, but the Mozilla Thunderbrd stores it in the /home/mykalreborn/.thunderbird folder.
