Maybe!
I installed Thunderbird 2 from Ubuntuzilla (or whatever the group is 
called) before the upgrade to 7.10

After 7.10, all my thunderbird settings seemed to be gone, and I think 
what had happened was that there were t versions of thunderbird 2 
installed. One called something like Thunderbird2 and one something like 
Mozilla-Thunderbird2 (I don't remember exactly, but I know they were 
different). My old settings and emeils were in the version that wasn't 
loading up, so I deleted one and used the other.

Don't remember what I did exactly to be honest, but I did get my old 
emails and settings working and Thunderbird seems to be ok now. Any 
ideas what I should do from here?
