I can't believe they'd release anything so obviously unfinished.

All "beta" test versions state this,
and have "discussion" and "bugzilla" pages
documenting the current status.

Most who try "E8" are not currently using TB,
and since E8 is completely independent of E6,
the trial use of E8 and E6 in parallel is then without risk.

E8 is dependent on TB3 (also long in alpha/beta and not yet released),
which may be a factor in why its development has dragged out.

Some of the problems in "E8 vs. TB" may be fixable,
but if it should turn out that others here do not have more info,
then another place to turn might be to Qualcomm's E8 forum:

http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29

Since that forum merges Mac, Windows, and Linux,
it might be useful to always identify the platform,
as well as the E8 version.

Is there any prior backup to restore the TB profile? Time Machine?

It may be only the "preferences" (big JS file) which need restoring:

All I wanted, basically, was a version of Eudora 6

Well, it has long been pointed out that it is
a modified version of Thunderbird 3,
adding what extras they can according to user requests,
using no part of the encumbered original software code at all.

I am truly sorry for anyone to fall into the potholes on this road,
and can only try to help broadcast and mark their location,
or to try to help find some repair crew lurking about.

Best wishes.
