  1. From Thunderbird select:

    Edit>Preferences>Composition>Languages then select the language required.

    As this seems only to change the language of the spelling selected, the other alternative is to open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and enter the following commands:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install thunderbird-locale-en-gb
