Thunderbird shows only the INBOX and messages, but it does not have the SEND Mail button displayed nor any of the other parts of the prviously displayed application.

Essentially I have no email sending capability.

Is there a fix? It appears that I can still receive email as my most recent email in the INBOX is dated at 11:32AM this morning.

You don't have a toolbar.

<alt> + v + Toolbars and check the relevant toolbar options.

Or maybe [≡]|{hover over Preferences}, but I'm not too confident as the layout may vary between platforms, and I'm using Linux here.
