I am on Tbird Beta and it is hopelessly bad. How do I switch to regular (non-Beta) if my hard drive is almost out of space?

I'd like to uninstall Beta and install regular. But I have very little space. I can move all my local folders to a temp disk (that would be about 8 GB). How much space is needed to install regular Tbird?

If you installed the beta to c:\program files\mozilla thunderbird, you can download the release version and install right over the top. After install, look for a compatibilties.ini file in the profile folder and delete it. Thunderbird should start normally.

I have hundreds of GB's of nstmp files in my ImapMail folder. Can I just delete them? How much space do I need to install a clean new regular Thunderbird?

you can delete the nstmp files. they are created when a compaction fails, usually because the message file is very large.
