Dear Community,

Please excuse my bad English, but I do not come from an English-speaking country.

I have following problem:

I've opened Mozilla Thunderbird on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the Terminal with the sudo-command like this: sudo thunderbird

But now, I have the problem that my saved E-Mail Profiles no longer be displayed. When I open Thunderbird, the setup assistant starts but I doesn't can see my E-Mail profiles. I doesn't know how I can recover my E-Mail Accounts. What can I do to recover my account? This is very important for me because I use my E-Mail account with POP3 and not with IMAP.

Do you have any idea, how I can restore my Accounts or leastwise the E-Mails?

Are you using the Thunderbird version offered by your distribution, or the vanilla version from mozilla.org?

I've opened Mozilla Thunderbird on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the Terminal with the sudo-command like this: sudo thunderbird

Why would you want to use sudo to start Thunderbird?

I have the problem that my saved E-Mail Profiles no longer be displayed.

That implies it's been working before. What exactly did you do to screw up things?

This is very important for me

Then you hopefully took the time to create a backup of your Thunderbird profile.

I use the Thunderbird Version offered by Ubuntu. I've only started Thunderbird with the sudo-command in the Terminal because I've had problems to save an attachment. After that I could not see my accounts anymore.

If you use sudo you'll be running as root, and using root's profile.

Don't use sudo to start Thunderbird.
