Thunderbird has been a continual problem for several days. So far,
since re-installing it, it has not missed a beat. Earlier I would try
to delete mail and it would do nothing until I stopped and restarted
Thunderbird, it is not doing that now. Other times Thunderbird would
just stop responding to commands at all and I would have to do xkill and
then remove a lock file to restore operation. So far none of that has
occurred. Remember, this was an upgraded system from F7 to F8.

In that case, go to Pan for news, and Alpine for email :"yum
install pan alpine" -- you'll never look back. Oh, and of course, quite
soon, "yum remove thunderbird" -- quite soon meaning once you salvage
what you can. The linux/unix way is still best : one app for each and
every purpose, no bloat, no cruft, no breakdowns.
