Plain M2 :-) Every time I started Thunderbird I got a message that it
couldn't locate the local mail spool (can't remember the exact words).
Assuming it meant /var/spool/mail/anne, I touched that, owned
anne:mail (I tried root, too), but now the message is "Unable to
truncate spool file /var/spool/mail/anne".
Try running TB under strace, e. g.
strace -f -o /tmp/strace -e trace=open,read,write thunderbird
and check the /tmp/strace output for an open or I/O error related to
that file after the error occurs.
