Is related to the addon "Lightning", I deinstalled the addon, and the "New" button works. So this is a problem of "Lightning" than Thunderbird itself.

What version and localization of Lightning do you use?
What version and localization of Thunderbird do you use?
Do you use official mozilla.org builds or third party builds?
Do you use other extensions or themes that might break Lightning?

Was newest thunderbird 3.1.3, English version, official build (I used the update feature).
Lightning was probably 1.0b2, possibly 1.0b1 
(I don't remember exactly, I deinstalled it, and emails worked again).
I did not select for a specific lightning version, should have been English, too.
There is an old enigmail 0.94.0, I disabled it, but did not uninstall.
I use it in a German Windows XP installation.

The error message "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed", isn't it obvious?
I would expect that an XML construct contained in messenger.jar may cause troubles. So I would expect there is a specific messenger.jar version contains a problem.
