Hold Shift when you launch Thunderbird, and when the Safe mode window appears, check Reset toolbars and controls and click Make changes and restart.

Does that make the Forward button active?

Hi Toad, THANKS! Your reply did solve the problem. In fact, there are two "forward" buttons (dunno why) and I had the wrong one on the toolbar! Thanks again and greets!
