no, we don't touch or modify any data within the /home folders without
interacting by the user.
The only automatic controlled instance that can make changes to the
users profile is the Thunderbird application itself.

Also here my answer is no, the postinst script for the thunderbird
package has some magic to not enable the AA profile within new
installations. But it will keep an AA profile as active it it was active
before the update.

You can't 'downgrade' your mail profile. The only possible and
reasonable action would be to replace the existing profile with an backup.

But we are going in circles, the truth can be found in the (sys)log. And
the root for issue here will be apparmor.
