Supernova Thunderbird 115, calendar, chat, address book, tasks are missing on flatpack
I've just moved to Fedora 39. First tried installing the official fedora Thunderbird through discover and Thunderbird found my profile, created menu links to calendar, chat, address book, tasks, but they go no where. Uninstalled, tried the flatpak. Initially my .thunderbird file was not found and I had to manually relocate it into the new flatpak Thunderbird folder. Thunderbird then found my profile but calendar, chat, address book, tasks are STILL missing even though their menu links exist.
I've searched for solutions and in every one of them I have some important missing part i.e. lightning listed in addons(to remove and then re-add, its not listed there so I can't), find the "extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}" in my advanced settings - remove (no remove setting, only true or false, a sub menu where I can set its type, and a trash).
Any advice?

I solved my problem by dumping my profile entirely. I installed Supernova fresh and reentered my email accounts. Without the profile interfering, calendar etc all appeared. I will have to manually re-enter my appointments and tasks but at least the extensions exist for future use, where as broken Supernova was almost useless. I don't have the time or the skill to track down exactly what was happening and fix it in order to keep my profile info. New Thunderbird looks nice, just wish it hadn't been so disruptive to my work flow and productivity over the last couple weeks.

What Thunderbird version were you using before Fedora 39 upgrade?
And it sounds like you may have skipped a version on the way to 115, or have an extension that doesn't work with 115.
I don't know what version I was using before. The Fedora 39 was a fresh install, 115 was freshly downloaded, and I just kept my profile from before. I had some junk built up from multiple version upgrades and needed to start clean. I don't have any Thunderbird extensions installed.
If I had skipped a Thunderbird version on my way to 115 how would my profile have changed? Where can I research that further?

Impossible to say with zero information about your prior version.
Per developer - there's nothing in this report that makes me think it's a flatpak issue, especially since it was installed from the fedora rpm package before trying the flatpak.
My suggestion, is create a new profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles
