The functionality of Enigmail is built in now, so the extension is superfluous.

I looked up Mail Redirect. Yes, I can see that might be a problem.
It's not something I've ever needed or wanted.

I had not noticed that. (Mostly I use keystrokes if I can, rather than
toolbar buttons, and in regularly-used apps I tend to turn off as many
toolbars as I can. This is one of many reasons I detest the Ribbon
interface in modern MS Office, Kingsoft Office etc.

You want to rebuild threads? Gosh. Why? What are the circumstances
this might arise?

I see some messages in a "rethread" addon from `petertheprinter` and I
think I may be able to guess who that is... ;-)
