Did you read the announcements a while back that thunderbird uses a new profile called thunderbird and not minotaur? You have to migrate again....

Follow the migration information:

-open prefs.js in a text editor

-replace all occurences of <tt>...\Minotaur\Profiles\...</tt> with <tt>...\Thunderbird\Profiles\...</tt> <b>or</b> all occurences of <tt>...\Mozilla\Profiles\...</tt> with <tt>...\Thunderbird\Profiles\...</tt>, depending on from which build you are upgrading (the first Minotaur build used your Mozilla profile, a later one used a Minotaur profile and the newest one uses a Thunderbird profile)
