It could be still running in the background, keeping an eye on your calendar, etc. I'm not sure about Thunderbird, but many mail programs are often like that. You end up using some command like "evolution --quit" and/or "killall evolution" (a few times), to get evolution to actually quit. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 30 14:19:46 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
