User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0
Steps to reproduce:
Multiple configured accounts with empty recycle bin and folders maintenance on exit enabled.
Open Tools > Activity Manager, close TB by close button.
Actual results:
TB does not shut down completely as threads running in the background are seen in task manager.
With activity manager open and main TB window being closed, there's visible progress of emptying recycle bins, frozen at some point. Usually it takes only one recycle bin when the AM window stops responding. I tried more actions to resolve the issue, including squeezing databases, rebuilding the main index and repairing folders but with no luck. If I uncheck both exit options on all accounts, the client fully terminates quickly. Yet the client is able to terminate properly with three or four exit tasks in total, but as enabling more exit options on more accounts, the deadlock on exit is back. The issue is probably related to the two onexit tasks, or collision among them, the issue also began to appear with latest few stable builds.
Expected results:
TB fully closes in reasonable time.
Only the empty recycle bin on exit tasks seem to invoke the issue.

I think you mean Trash folder?
Similar items collected in bug 1891889.
What is your full version number?
Thunderbird 125.0 - 20240423190814
May be same issue or not, if empty trash on exit is enabled for one or more accounts, the client mostly deadlocks on close, not always.

Thunderbird 125.0 - 20240423190814
Not sure if that's a daily or a beta, but apparently it doesn't have the fix that backed out some bad code (bug 1891889 comment 37)
If you can't update to a daily, beta or release (115.10.1) that has the fix, you might work around this by first selecting Trash folder(s) right before shutting down.

You probably shouldn't be using 125 - "These builds are in very early stages, and we don't recommend anyone use them yet." from https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/planning/Tf458e19e4446e1c6-M65ab387f4f2fead418db9961.
You should install 115 - use --allow-downgrade command line switch if necessary.
As far I know v125.x is stable channel, the client self-updated to it:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/125.0/

If your full version string at Help > About is 125.0 then the site you downloaded from has provided you with something they should not have. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/125.0/ is NOT a production release.

125 is affected by what is reported in bug 1891889. But resolved in 126 beta.
The old stable version seems to prevent the hang. Can be considered solved.
