Unistalling Thunderbird

| I have been having issues with Eudora and finally corrupted the mail box so it
won't open.
So I thought the time was right to try Thunderbird. At instal I regrettfully
said, sure import my Eudora folders, and po-server info etc, and it did but
they are somewhat messed up, probably due to the corrupted file.
I tried to uninstall and then re-install clean with no import of data. However
there seems to be something that is not uninstalled, maybe registery.
Because when I try to reinstall I never get asked if I wish to import info
from other mail clients, it completes the install and all the old Eudora stuff
is still there, 2 inboxes and a real mess.
Any pointers would be appreciated on how to get a clean new install.
Cheers
Ross

I am assuming Windows.
The problem is that mail data is stored in the profile, which is stored
separately from your program files. An uninstall/reinstall doesn't
touch it.
To solve this, open Thunderbird's Profile Manager:
Start>>Programs>>Mozilla Thunderbird>>Profile Manager
Delete the profile,and remove the files.
Create a new profile. When you open it, don't choose to import the
Eudora files. You should be okay from there.
