Well, this make the life of the package maintainer harder then as you
not provide much as possible information about the circumstances the
issue(s) happen as reportbug will do.

reportbug now even has a GUI mode and the Debian Wiki is hold several
information about configuration of reportbug.

https://wiki.debian.org/reportbug

I personally use nullmailer as a local pseudo MTA, this isn't all that
hard to configure.

In my opinion reportbug is the best thing to create bug reports. The
website about reporting bugs is holding additional options and
information to report bugs.

https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

Especially the information about the installed software versions is
really important for my or other people. The following example call is
printing out all the parts reportbug would use.

So you probably have an issue in the LXDE DE in combination with
Thunderbird.

As I don't know what you excatly running or doing. How should I, this is
based on the information from the reporter. How can anybody readjust the
issue then?

No, as I don't know what would have to do until now? OTOH I can't test
and will not check all the possible combinations out there and it's
unlikely I will do this for LXDE. LXDE isn't a really common DE so far.

Can you please check if the issue is still happen with disabled
extensions and with a clean new profile?

https://wiki.debian.org/Thunderbird#Bug_Reporting_.2F_Issues

The root for the problem can be anythere and before I would asking LXDE
Maintainers we need to be clear the issue isn't within a fishy profil.
