Hello James,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird. You made this bug report in 2016 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you run the following (only once):

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
