Uninstalling and reinstalling the panel doesn't fix the problem, either.

I can't send mails right away unlike before. It seems to hang or get stuck trying to send mails. To those who are aware that I was going to reinstall Trisquel, I already did. It's been a lot better now but I still have problems like Thunderbird's performance. I already did a system upgrade

That is helpful, since the other folders I thought would have files in them didn't. Looks like both the LXDE and the Trisquel-Mini folders have config and panel files, but looking at the Trisquel-mini one, I don't know enough to see anything that might explain why the panel isn't showing up.

I know in some GNU/Linux encryption schemes you can secure the disk so it requires a USB security token of some sort. Use one but don't give him his own and make him come and 'borrow' yours when he has need, returning it promptly when finished.

There are all sorts of things it could be and you should suspect before Thunderbird. So some first questions: Have you checked your ISP and email provider's service status pages? If not do so. Does it happen everytime you send an email or vary in any way? E.g. time of day / week Have you
