When you can get into tty2 can you determine what's going on - is the 
machine CPU, memory or I/O bound, for example? You can use the 'free' 
command to see memory usage and 'top' will show CPU usage (and allow you 
to sort by different metrics), though top itself has a good deal of 
overhead.

It's not a particular problem I've had, but Thunderbird isn't really 
known for being lightweight...
