I've got it working again!!
Like you suggested I did a "clean setup".
Thanks all of you for helping me to solve this problem.

thunderbird locks up

[Maikel van Leeuwen]

Hey,
I have the same situation, but then on a Debian workstation. Especially
when Thunderbird has big maildir's.
My solution is the following:

icedove clean cache:
cd /home/maikel/.icedove   <-- first find your thunderbird dir.
find . -name "*.msf" -exec rm -rf {} ;

This will delete the caching files.

Salute,
