If you opened tbird in 22.1, your tbird profile (~/.thunderbird , as I recall) has now been tagged with needing whatever version of tbird is in 22.1. You might be able to "fix" it by renaming the profile directory and letting Mint 21.x tbird recreate it from scratch. After that, it may be possible to copy the relevant database(s) from the 22 tbird back into the new profile so that your saved email services, etc. show up again. You'll probably be forced into re-syncing all the mail though. -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860
