When I launch TB in the "safe mode", in which the add-ons are not active, the
problem still exists. Is this what you mean?

How did you do that, recreating your TB setup?
You rename your Thunderbird directory. I think the default is somewhere
around ~/.mozilla
Start TB and it will create a whole new directory structure. Configure
your account and soforth. then shutdown TB, copy over your mail
directories, filters, address book, sigs and restart. There will be a
little more config fixing, and you have a 'clean' setup with just your data.
