I just reinstalled Debian 6 and Icedove. I copied the profile in my previous installation and update of profiles.ini who has always worked in the past.

I wonder now to create a new account. Once I have a workaround to default imap and use pop3 I can't open Icedove. I get an error message that Thunderbird is already underway, and I need to shut it down or restart. I can't shut it down because it is not running. pstree and top do not show it so there is no pid to kill. Given zero annoys me to create a new account and the same problem.

I have never had any problems in the past. Copy the old profile at .icedove and by changing the profiles.ini always gave me my address list and my old emails. Import, said book mail and address were imported, but it didn't.

I like Thunderbird and hesitate to throw. I don't like Evolution, but I use it maybe and try to recreate my address book. What a waste of time!

I was not able to find a lock file. However I deleted profiles.ini and it copied from the backup and that seems to work. The lock was probably hidden somewhere in the .default file.
