    When you have the problem, run from the command-line:
      ps aux|grep -i thunderbird

    to see if any instances of thunderbird remain. If so (and I suspect
    that this is your problem), issue from the command-line:
      kill -9 <pid #'s of thunderbird>
      
    and the lock file will magically disappear.
