Do you have a dictionary installed or selected? (See attached image.)
Have you enabled spell checking under Tools|Options|Composition|Spelling?
You can also download a dictionary from the settings pane opened by that last directions, but the link it offers you will almost certainly open in Thunderbird. At some point, it's best to right-click and select "open in browser" and it'll re-open in your default browser. From there you can download. I'd recommend you right-click the offered link, use "Save As" and download it. You can then drag the downloaded file onto Thunderbird's Add-Ons window, or use the small button to the left of the search box in the Add-Ons window.
