Have you tried moving the hidden (dotfile) Thunderbird configuration
directory out of the way (renamed back up) and seeing if the problem
goes away with a fresh config (maybe something got corrupted in there).
A compromised mail account would probably be sending loads of spam,
wouldn't it? That doesn't seem to be the case, as your ISP remains
silent on the point.
