Good to hear that you were able to resolve your issue and it was not a
TorBirdy problem.

When you start the Tor Browser Bundle it starts the Socks listener on
a random TCP port (SocksPort auto). This is probably the reason why
you were not able to use tor in thunderbird because there was no open
Socks port where torbirdy expected it (9050).
