Hello Carsten!

My bad, too many years using other distributions embedded with a "store" to
install software...

What I actually meant by "store" was the Software app (Gnome software) that
is delivered by default within Debian. I installed Thunderbird from there:

This is important, if I don't change the language after installing it,
Thunderbird works just fine but if I add more languages and select e.g.
English UK or Spanish Spain, the UI breaks, the only way I found out to fix
it back was to delete the folder ".thunderbird" that gets created in my
home folder every time I open Thunderbird.

After battling a little bit, I gave up upon using Software app in order to
install TB and finally install Snap store to  install their Snap, I don't
like that way but I needed to get back to work asap. Thunderbird is stable
in Debian when installed from the Snap store.

I wish I can get you a screen capture but that would mean I have to
uninstall TB then reinstall it using GSoftware, change languages and
restart TB, that would be inconvenient tonight but I will gladly do it
during the weekend.

Have a great day!
