I've done everything from uninstalling/reinstalling, disabling all add ons, deleting msf files, running safe mode. thunderbird is almost dead at this point. anytime I try opening or closing, deleting I get the "not responding" message. please don't make me have to start using another email package. How can I completely remove all of my thunderbird info off my hard drive and start over?

cheers Bart
