I wonder if your default table reading is set to cell rather than row.
If so, you're in a blank/empty cell.  You can test this by pressing Orca
+F11. If Orca announces "speak row" and everything suddenly starts
working, then you can either toggle this setting as needed or you can
make it the default setting for Thunderbird by pressing Orca+Control
+Space while in Thunderbird. On the speech page of the Orca prefs dialog
there's a radio button group called "Table Row Speech."

If that doesn't solve the problem and you are using the latest Orca from
trunk and the latest Thunderbird/Shredder (i.e. version 3; not version
2), let us know and we'll see what we can figure out.

Take care.
