Wait, what are we talking about? I thought you were asking about "New Tor 
Circuit for this Site".

Do you need help torrifying Thunderbird? If you are using Thunderbird in a 
non-whonix-workstation VM, you can install the TorBirdy extension and point it 
to your sys-whonix IP and Port 9102.

Thunderbird is installed and torrified by default in anon-whonix already. You 
can use anon-whonix, clone it, make a new appVM based on whonix-ws, whatever 
fits your needs.
