Thanks Saivann, the link you provided actually points to a Thunderbird problem.
As for the problem I have, I have a different issue than what you describe as I did see that issue in some postings and I manually deleted the user and the home folder was not there when I checked. However, the problem persisted even after I deleted the user. -- [users-admin] Adding a previously existing user fails silently https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66051 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
