I don't have a .thunderbird directory here. But if I go to the 
equivalent directory under .mozilla-thunderbird, I see the same files 
with the same permissions. So, while it seems to behave like a 
permissions thing, I don't see how it could be that. My earlier sudo 
chown -R *, sudo chgrp -R * should have taken care of that. Everything 
in my home directory belongs to me and my group.
