In cases like this, the problem is sometimes a specific message. And deleting global-messages-db.sqlite is not a solution, it just creates more work for Thunderbird.

Does going back to 141 help? Download and Install from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/141.0/ and when you get a downgrade warning, using the override mentioned at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profile-thunderbird-installation#w_what-happens-to-my-profile-if-i-downgrade-to-a-previous-version-of-thunderbird
