Lets double check the findings shall we?
Create another folder called Reseau (with the accent) and see if
Thunderbird works then.

It may not have been the naming of the folder with the accent that was
the problem, but the folder itself.

My experience suggests that accented characters are permissible -- or at
least cause no problems -- under Windows, but can cause problems in a 'N*x
environment.

Don't know if that extends to OS X or not, but since the OP is under XP, it
would seem hardly to matter.

A quick boo at Bugzilla didn't turn up anything suggestive. . . .

I havent found anything suggestive of a problem with accents either, tho
I admit I dont use accents in names commonly. I didnt run into problems
using some on OS X, but as you say, that wouldnt matter since the user
isnt a mac person. My XP machine is still not up yet.

according to this bug -
'https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260034' (RESOLVED FIXED) ,
"Cannot send mail if temporary directory contains *non-ascii characters*"

most probably in your case , same ( inability to handle non-ascii
characters in path name ) problem has somehow occurred.

I think you should report it as bug at "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/"

Please note : before submitting a bug report , please check whether
anyone has already reported same or not
["https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi"]

If I remember correctly, Herb also had a similar problem about last
summer?? His was with the German umlauts (two dots above a, o and u) -
maybe he could butt in here and tell us the details??

Hello,

I do it and it 's the same thing. If I call my folder Réseau it doesn't
work and if I rename it Reseau, it works.
Only personnal dictionnary works in all the cases.

Of course, c'est là toute la question :-). But who wants to spell
network with an é ?

I've never spelt 'network' with an é; 'nétwork' looks odd to me. :-P

It isn't a problem of word with or without accent but the problem is if
the installation forlder of thunderbird is written with an accent in
this letters, spellchecker doesn't work. And in french, network is
translated by Réseau with an "é"...

Is Réseau the default installation location for the French localisation of
Thunderbird?

Gad that's ugly. Does mozilla have a way to suppress PGP? Slrn does it
quite nicely. I ask since you use it..

Oui, bien sûr. Mais mon expérience m'a fait constater que même sur des
versions françaises de logiciels, il est à éviter d'utiliser des
caractères avec des accents pour les noms de fichiers et de répertoires
du fait des limitations héritées du temps du Dos, même si elles sont
censées avoir été gommées. Personnellement, je limite toujours à 8
caractères le nom des "directories" et n'emploie jamais de caractères
autres que les xxx lettres de l'alphabet. Une source de soucis en moi.

Je viens d'éliminer le problème en downloadant la version beta2 de
Thunderbird avec son nouveau dictionnaire. Plus de problème. Comme quoi
c'était bien un bug, et il a été corrigé...
Un grand bravo à l'équipe de dvp de Thunderbird.
