I'll bet there's a "hung" connection to the mail server. Using something like ps ax | grep pop or | grep mail, look for an attempted connection that didn't get a reply from the hibernating NIC.

You shouldn't need to reboot, just find and kill the hung process after killing Thunderbird. You would probably find that logging out of X or killing it with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace fixed the problem.
