Yes the file is called "lock". To make sure all the files in the 
directory hierarchy are owned by you, open a root terminal window and go 
to your home directory.

Type in the following command:

find ./.thunderbird -print | xargs chown duncan:duncan

This will change the ownership and group ownership of all the files and 
directories below ~/.thunderbird to owner "duncan" and group "duncan".

cheers
Duncan
