Focusing on the Thunderbird problem to begin with.....

As I understand it, Debian doesn't enable/use selinux by default.  You have to do some enabling when you install or maybe it can be done later.

So, when you use T-Bird and enigmail under Fedora you may be running into a selinux issue.

I would check to see if the .gnupg is labeled correctly it should look like this....

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ls -Zd .gnupg
unconfined_u:object_r:gpg_secret_t:s0 .gnupg

And the files within the same.

I would also check /var/log/audit/audit.log for any AVC records being generated when T-Bird + enigmail is used.

As for you other issue with setting up a mail profile....you should still be able to manually configure your old email service.  There is a button for that, I just don't recall when/where it is at the moment.
