345945 - thunderbird reports invalid message when it can't find profile directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 278860

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Buloichik]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; be-BY; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; be-BY; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

  I moved profile directory on the flash disk(for share thunderbird data between work and home computers). When I run thunderbird WITH flash disk, it works perfect. When I run thunderbird WITHOUT flash disk(i.e. profile directory can't be found), thunderbird reports : "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system.".
  It happen in thunderbird 1.5


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove profile directory(but leave it in profile.ini), or change Path in the profile.ini into non-exists directory
2. Run thunderbird


Expected Results:  
Seems to thunderbird should report other message.
