hi anonym,

you've handled the migration to Thunderbird so far; can you please
handle this? Otherwise I'll try, but since I'm away from work until
Wednesday morning, and am not very familiar with this part of Tails,
I'm not very confident I'll manage to get enough info from Chre in due
time, nor to fix this bug myself.
