I get the exact same error, even if I create a new profile with the working
version, before I start the not-working version. I'm sorry, but I can't help
anymore..

The version I tried is: 

thunderbird-1.0+.en-US.win32.installer.exe 22-May-2005 11:51  6.0M

from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/

I'm not having this bug anymore in the latest nightly build (20050525) from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/

Can the reporter confirm this?

I think it is OK, but I need to sort out a whole bunch of Thunderbird bugs, and
lack of Talkback is not helping any. I think I am just going to delete all and
start over from scratch. If that doesn't work, I may have to go back to a
"release" build. Will keep you posted.

I'd confirm if I had the authority.

Add Linux, 2005-05-21-05-trunk.
Same error as the picture.

I agree! Open a bug for it and I'll vote for it.
