Maybe it's the time now to try it out by myself ;)

Does it have a language heuristic which detects the used
language automatically?

Well, there is no heuristic but LyX will of course spellcheck the text 
in the language with which it is marked. There is no such feature as 
automatically detect the language of the text, you'll have to 
explicitely mark it.

  I really hate it that Thunderbird doesn't
switch to English from German when ALL words are wrong when I write
English but the checker checks for German.

It would be so easy to not only check for the selected language but
also some others and then when in some of these other languages
all errors, or something near 100%,  are gone the spellchecker
switches this language.
   

Aha... this is a good idea! That might well be the good use case for the 
alternate language option that we have... Pretty easy to implement as well.
