I identified the problem and a workaround, but I think the problem should be investigated more in depth.

I was using Feisty before. For different reasons, I had to make a fresh install.
So I did a complete backup from my /home
Then I installed Feisty.
After installing, I copied .mozilla-thunderbird from my backup, so I could use all my old settings.
It worked fine but then there was this url problem.

Workaround :
make a backup of .mozilla-thunderbird
then delete .mozilla-thunderbird
start thunderbird and create your account again manually
and the url problem should disappear.

From now on, I'll remember that copying a config directory isn't 100% safe.
