Nothing but problems with Tbird in linux for me. Think I will go back to Kmail but in the meantime Tbird is frozen and I can't shut it down. I'm sure there will be a way in the command line, and going through Rute but in the meantime if anyone can help me shut it down I'd be very glad thanks.

Hi Rosemary
if the program hangs you type on in your konsole ps -ef | grep thunderbird You will see serveral processes. Kill those processes using kill -9 xxxx the xxx is the pid number that needs to be killed.
hope that helps kevin
Hi Kevin the straight line after ef and before grep is a forwards slash? Thanks Rosemary

Hi Rosemary
It should be a straight line. i think its called a Pipe so it should look below.
ps -ef | grep thunderbird
you might see it as a broken line on you keyboard, mine is next to the my shift key on my laptop.
Regards Kevin
