with every guix pull icedove updating I have to set up icedove again

[Gottfried]

Unfortunately, every time after guix pull updating icedove I have to set 
up icedove again.


Opening icedove the path is set to:
  /gnu/store/0vyrq4fz1wwxpy2izvjbrkfpaap5r5m9-icedove-91.7/bin/icedove

the only way to open icedove is to choose in the starter app an older 
version: in my case:
/gnu/store/nmlxvxl2640r74fg9mlacmavpwg2n7xa-icedove-91.6.1/bin/icedove

If I change the path to :
/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/icedove
it also asks me to set up icedove again.

I don't know how to solve this. What can I do, that after a guix pull I 
can start icedove but with the updated version?

thanks in advance
Gottfried

I also have this problem. It forgets which profile I'm using or
something. I have to launch the profile manager and select the profile
for it to use.

what do you mean by " to launch the profile manager"
do you mean to open the .guix-profile folder?

"and select the profile"
do you mean to open: .guix-profile/bin/
and choose the profile "icedove"
If yes, I did that, but it opened the new version which asks me for 
setting up icedove.
So this didn't help me.

Or do you mean to open /gnu/store/?
and choose the right profile?
If yes, than which profile should I choose?

At the moment, when I run: icedove -ProfileManager
it gives me 8 options:

1. Default Default	runs the new icedove
2. Default			asks me to set up icedove
3. Default 1		runs the new icedove
4. Default 2		runs the new icedove
5. Default 3			asks me to set up icedove
6. Default 4			asks me to set up icedove
7. Default 5			asks me to set up icedove
8. Default 6			asks me to set up icedove

Should I delete the profiles number 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 ?which ask me to set 
icedove up? Is it save to delete profiles?

There is a message:
Deleting a profile will remove the profile from the list of available 
profiles and cannot be undone.
You may also choose to delete the profile data files, including your 
settings, certificates and other user-related data. This option will 
delete the folder “/home/gfp/.thunderbird/lrhyptlb.default” and cannot 
be undone.
Would you like to delete the profile data files?

should I choose the option: delete the files or the other option: Don't 
delete files?

According to your list, these profiles are not yet set up. Which means: 
they don't hold any mails or other relevant data. So I assume they can 
safely be removed.

And yes, you can also delete the files of this profile.

BTW: Please don't send messages to help-guix-*request*@gnu.org - this is 
just the subscription automat.
