Downloaded thunderbird for my old imac g5 10.5.8 and when I try to launch it it says a copy of thunderbird is already open. But it isn't. Restart, reload, redownload...nothing helps. Whats up?

Thanks for the help.

Several suggestions here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use

The lock file is a common cause of this, particularly when a profile has been copied from one machine to another. Is that likely in your case?

You didn't have any of the lock files mentioned in the linked article?
