--- Comment #25 from jo...@petri.us ---
For me (using the 7..4.0 appimage on pop_os 21.10, a ubuntu 21.10 derivative)
the issue is that the appimage sets a some environment variables which make it
impossible to sublaunch thunderbird.  

In particular, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD are being set by the appimage
launcher, and they both seem likely to break many installations.  I think that
digikam probably ought to take a moment when launching the email program to
ensure that the environment has been restored to whatever it was when the
appimage was launched.

As a workaround, I created a ~/bin/digikam-thunderbird-fix/thunderbird file,
chmod a+x, with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_PRELOAD
exec thunderbird "$@"

(You might have to change the thunderbird command above to point to your
thunderbird install if you don't have it in your path.)
