Whenever thunderbird gets closed, it does not remove the .parentlock file in ~/.thunderbird/<BLABLA>.profile/ As a consequence, a message appears that TB is already running, whenever one starts thunderbid again.
Not here, is it closed gracefully?

As I along with a few others are unable to duplicate the problems closing worksforme. You could try moving old profile out of way and testing to make sure it is not profile specific.

I mean, I even don't get an error message or such-alike... And removing the old profile is really NOT a "solution", because I have a quite huge local database of stored emails...

I now moved the old profile away. Strangely, with the newly created profile, the .parentlock still does not get removed - but for some reasons thunderbird isn't bothered --> normal startup...
