Comment (by tam24):

 I have had the same problem and have not been able to restore access to my
 emails. I tried clearing all proxy options in advanced config and setting
 it to transparent in the advanced prefs. Seems to have messed up my
 profile un reparably...anyone have any ideas?

 Replying to [ticket:21165 thwaller]:
 > I have tried to disable and  uninstall the TorBirdy addon for
 Thunderbird and it leaves Thunderbird in a total mess. The proxy settings
 were not restored and the addons are all showing as disabled and the
 addons view is completely different. Emails are not showing in HTML, etc.
 By clearing the Proxy settings, I can now at least get emails, but there
 is still stuff that is not right. I am hesitating to make too many changes
 as I do not to mess up any chances that the changes this addon has made
 can be properly undone.
