I do not see such a problem here. I have an up to date etch

No extensions that I'm aware of for thunderbird -- certainly nothing
from outside Debian. I may have some installed for firefox, if that
makes any difference.
No ... should make no difference.

You still have packages from sarge?
Yep. There usually seems to be too much stuff missing from etch otherwise.
Hmmm ... maybe give it a try? Just use dist-upgrade to get all
changes?
Maybe this is the reason. Otherwise, please do remove thunderbird one
more time and then install it again.
OK, it seems that the default 2.6.12 kernel in debian doesn't do a
sensible /dev/random, and thunderbird was blocking waiting for a read
from /dev/random. Goodness knows why it would need that (I have "use
TLS" set to "no", for example), but there it is.

Nick
