Well, the problem apparently was that the sheet asking for the master
password was not appearing...after quitting and restarting Thunderbird
seemed to fix it.

So, the next problem was that I had forgotten the Master Password. So, I
went hunting and found that the only way around this would involve
losing all my saved passwords...no big deal.

If anyone else is interested, this involved going to my profile folder
and deleting the key3.db and <number>.s files. I then had to go to each
account and separating select 'Read Messages' to get it to ask for a
password again and then to check for new messages when I select 

  File:Get New Messages for:Get All New Messages

Everything seems to be in the proper state again.
