Starting Thunderbird with the option '--debug' gives at least some more information if something is already going wrong before Thunderbird will be called itself. > I have tried packages from stable, testing and experimental, all the same. > > -- System Information: ... > Versions of packages thunderbird suggests: > ii apparmor 2.11.1-3 > pn fonts-lyx <none> > ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.15.2-2 You have installed apparmor. Have you tried to disable the AppArmor profile for Thunderbird and check for the further existence of the issue? $ sudo aa-disable /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird Also I suspect then some messages about denied access by apparmor. $ sudo journalctl -kaf --no-hostname | grep -w 'apparmor="DENIED"' Regards Carsten
