That sounds completely topsy turvy?
my only suggestion is as follows...
I assume that your and the wife's pcs are both desktops?
I assume that you have a separate /home partition on your system?
I suggest trying the following...
- copy the whole of your /home to an external HDD.
make sure you get all the hidden directories too
- create another user on the wife's pc
ensure you match your login / password details from your pc.
- now copy over all of your /home to the /home for the new user you have just created.
again ensure you get all the hidden directories.
finally...
reboot into the wife's pc, and login as the new 'user' and see if thunderbird is still playing silly games.
Now repeat doing the same thing in the opposite direction (wife login /home onto your pc.
This should tell you if it a 'user area' problem or a 'system problem'
- install another email client, to see if that makes any difference
My hope is that when you transfer your /home thunderbird will break down, and your wife will be OK on your system.
quick question,
what makes you think that you have an apparmor problem? did you install them differently on each pc?
another option may be a rule on your router to the IP for the outgoing mail server in the open ports stuff??
personally I'm not sure, I'm just hoping I may give you an idea, or maybe the results of the 'tests' will give other more experienced people out there ideas for solutions.
good luck, and I'm going to keep an eye on this thread as it sound like an interesting (albeit very strange) problem
