i have used tbird from tbirds birth. only crashes where what i caused when
i played with files, being config, email and control. [.dat, .js, .rdf, .msf]

to check and clean up email files, use kongueror in tree view mode;
 'navigator panel = root folder', 'detailed list view'.

open '/home/username/.thunderbird/*.default/Mail/'. note subdirectories
'Local Folders/', 'ispserver.net/'. or what ever isp server name is.

in these sub directories are where email files w/ '.msf' files are
stored and additional subdirectories as '*.sbd'.

1st, enter 'ispserver.net', sort 'file type', '.msf' files contain
directions for email display, delete all. repeat for all 'isp'.

2nd, enter 'Local Folders/', delete all '.msf' files.

in above directories and subdirectories;

files show as 'MBox Mail Folder', contain email messages
preceded with a 'header'.

now move to directory with problem email, open file with 'kwrite'.

for an example, your thunderbird email file header:
 [open with kwrite, configured 'remove trailing spaces']

every line between 'From - Sat Sep 13 22:04:04 2008' and 'Errors-To:'
must be continuous, no *blank line*. i broke long lines with ' \'

1st *blank line* ends 'header' and marks 'body' of message.

if email tagging is used;
[ type in what is between < > and ' ' ]

 <ctrl+f> 'X-Mozilla-Keys: ' [ note ': ' & delete next line if *blank* ],
 <F3>,,,,

if seeing 'header' in 'body':

 <ctrl+r> '>From -' <tab>, <tab> 'From -' <enter>

after cleaning email files,

open '/home/username/.thunderbird/*.default/'. high lite 'panacea.dat'.

press: <F2>, <shift+end>, <ctrl+c>, <esc>, <shift+delete>,
  <space>, <alt+e>, <n>, <f>, <t> <ctrl+v>, <enter>

this resets master control file, all subdirectories and email files will
be read as new. all email will show by 'date'.

open thunderbird, recheck email. any messages 'blank' in 'tags', 'subject',
'recipient', 'sender', 'date', need further checking depending on what is
blank.
