Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Recently one of my cooworkers updated Thunderbird 3.0 from 10.04 LTS to
latest version (AFAIR it was update from 3.0.6 to 3.0.10). After update
he lost all his mailboxes. During investigation of the problem we found
the all mailboxes were still in the standard location, but it's
description was missing from the pref.js file. It looked like the file
was overwritten during update. Lucky we had backup. Restoring the file
resolve the issue.

It reminded my father complains that after standard update of
thunderbird he lost all his mailboxes. He also use Lucida or one of it's
derivative.
