    Question Thunderbird 3.1 Shredder

    Hello I have installed 3.1 but whenever I open it I get the following message: "Error getting mail password" but I am given no opportunity to enter it.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I know, this sucks, no real solutions up to now..
    I downgraded to 3.0, works fine now.

    I had the same problem, even with 3.0
    I got finally around using the script ubuntuzilla :

    thunderbird 3.1 has not even made it to an alpha release, so no surprise that it comes with all sorts of bugs.

    use the stable release (3.0.1 as of this writing) and you're less likely to run into such showstopper bugs.

    either install manually, or use the ubuntuzilla repository for a nice automatic solution.

    (or just stick to the ubuntu repos tbird2)

    If I uninstall Shredder and reinstall the latest stable Thunderbird, will my profile/inbox be intact?

    Yes, at least it did that for me. I removed (uninstalled) shredder and my Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 was still there and so was all my mail and settings.
    I had tried the ubuntuzilla version as well, but it choked on my gmail pop accounts and refused to allow anything other than IMAP.
    I said screw it and went back to using TB2.
