Hi,

Indeed; when running ‘guix pull’, you might have seen this entry:

  Icedove 91: profile folder moved to @file{~/.thunderbird}

  Icedove 91 expects your profile folder under @file{~/.thunderbird}.
  You need to manually copy your Icedove profiles from @file{~/.icedove} to
  @file{~./thunderbird}.  It may be required to start Icedove with
  @option{--ProfileManager} for the first time after the migration.

HTH,
Ludo’.
