In an attempt to find out what the problem is I have now done the 
following:

installed dovecot on my laptop
my data is mounted per NFS
started Thunderbird

I get exectly the same messages


I then copied my data onto a local partition of my hard drive laptop
and mount this as my $HOME

The reasoning behind this: eliminte any problems coming from NFS.

Again - the same error messages.

Most worrying is that when I fire up Thunderbird I get:

SERVERBUG internal error
