[nmglug] ubuntu thunderbird mail accounts and settings disappear after reboot.

[Tim Judd]

Well there you go, there's a clue...  your fully qualified path is in /tmp - a memory filesystem.Upon rebooting, /tmp is clean again.



 If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
"I can" is a way of life.
More and Bigger is not always Better.
The road to success is always uphill.
Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.

Ted:
slowly working through the suggestions you guys have sent.the terminal 
and .thunderbird paths match.
.mozilla and .thunderbird to not appear in home folder until I click on 
mail.that is as far as I have gotten.seems it should work sinch they 
match,I guess I am missing the obvious?

Terminal:
uest-2I0FoS at desktop:~$ cd .thunderbird/
guest-2I0FoS at desktop:~/.thunderbird$ cat profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=j7hf0xil.default

.thunderbird/:
/tmp/guest-2I0FoS/.thunderbird/j7hf0xil.default
