I'd start by looking in the filter log. Then I'd see if it was due to an add-on using help -> restart with add-ons disabled. You could also install a slightly older version of Thunderbird in a different directory using custom setup and see if it has the same problem. If none of that helps try installing a en-us version of 60.5.1 in a different directory and see if it has the same problem. Its unusual, but sometimes there are locale specific bugs.

Re message filter logs:
  • Filter log must be enabled. This is a separate setting for each account.
  • Filter log display may not be big enough to show results. Try dragging the bottom border down to expand the log window.
