Thanks! I think I found the command I was asking about, which I did by using the command thunderbird --help using gnome-terminal. The command is thunderbird -profilemanager Yes, there's only one dash. Anyway, though I found the command and crated a second profile, I still didn't get the result I wanted. As far as I can tell, Thunderbird has no man page, and I gather this is typical of the GUI-using programs. You probably don't want me to write here the words I employ to characterize my experience of so-called help for the GUI programs. :-) Al _____ From: accessiblelinux-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:accessiblelinux-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Storm Dragon Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:33 PM To: accessiblelinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [accessiblelinux] Re: probably OT: Thunderbird question Hi, I didn't even know that was poaaible in Thunderbird. I would like it a lot better if I knew how to do that myself. So I hope someone can help lol. Just for future, any question regarding Linux and how to use it is pretty much on topic.

I had to reinstall Arch Linux last week. Of course, that included reinstalling thunderbird. Before, when I had two or more accounts in Thunderbird, I'd hit go into the program and have my accounts there to choose among. Now, it brings me to the inbox of the one I was last in. I have been unable to reestablish the previous behavior, or to find anything useful about it in the various sources I've come upon so far of Thunderbird help. Does anybody know how I can do this, or whether something has changed in the latest version to prevent it? I wonder if this is related to an option I used *once* with the thunderbird command, when I began with it in April. I can't find that, either, so mention it in case anybody can figure out what I'm talking about. I don't like being so vague, but I've just plain lost the command history that might have helped. Thanks for any assistance. Al
