Hello, I have installed veracrypt and created a drive then installed Thunderbird then created a profile which i saved in the encrypted drive as i mentioned earlier, until now everything is good, I added a new gmail account in Thunderbird, if I dismount the drive and close thunderbird then opened it back it would say profile is missing or inaccessible which is logical, I close Thunderbird, mount the encrypted drive then tried to open Thunderbird, and here it would show an error:

Thunderbird is already running but is not responding. To use thunderbird, you must first close the existing thunderbird

I don't know why it acts like this? If i delete the folders in ~/.thunderbird which are "common" "current" and "297" it would open with no accounts when normally it should fetch the profile from the encrypted drive.

I wasted a lot of time to diagnose the issue but with no result.

Wrong sequence. First close Thunderbird, then umount the drive.

Thunderbird is already running but is not responding.

Thunderbird has not been properly shut down, so you probably need to remove the profile lock file. https://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
