I believe thunderbird by default activated the "wrong" lightning
plugin (the one which was now removed) and cannot be bothered to
switch an existing profile to the "other" lightning. I do not have
a good solution for that - see

Thanks for the pointer to enigmail in UPDATING, so I misunderstood the
log message and should have looked in UPDATING.

However, lightning seems to be gone - I don't find it installed with the
port and it does not seem to be offered as an add-on for this platform.

Lightning had 2 copies, only one of those was removed. For Enigmail see
/usr/ports/UPDATING from 20161216.

Why the version should change? Enigmail isn't part of Thunderbird distribution
but just one of third-party extensions you can find on addons.mozilla.org.
For historic reasons it was bundled with the port but the requirment is gone.

ENIGMAIL option was unmaintained beyond updates which were irregular.
And it was bound to get in the way if anyone attempted to refactor the
current maintenance nightmare gecko@ is in.
