Hi Adam As far as it has happened to me the windows DO appear. It's just that they are located almost outside the screen with only one pixel in width showing in the screen. This of course assumes we are talking about floating windows, I'm though not sure if that's the case for thunderbird mails.
To me this has occurred when I run a program in multiple monitors and
later switch to singe monitor mode. I guess the program remembers the
coordinates and places the window far to the edge which before would
have meant the other screen.
One simple solution is to drag the window into the screen, Mod4+mouse
drag, 1 pixel is enough for this to work(usually on the left edge of the
screen).
The other workaround is to select the window in the taskbar and make the
window fullscreen, Mod4+f, then use the window, or if fullscreen is
disabled (Mod4+f again) the window usually stays fully within the screen.
