Had the same problem, only workaround that worked was backing up history.map file in my profile and deleting it to force thunderbird to recreate it. Collected address book was non-existent due to the corrupted file, but I get almost all addresses from ldap, so I didn't need to export/import them back.

I press the send button and nothing happens (I haven't noticed any debug log). The same happens with the ctrl+enter combination. I have tried to run Thunderbird in the safe mode (all add-ons disabled) and the issue is reproducible.
