wow, are you git annexing your whole home directory? that sounds extreme and problematic, since everything in git annex becomes read-only!!
This how to make git annex ignore something though: make git ignore it in the first place.
Stop the git assistant if it's running.
create a file called \".gitignore\" in the root of your annex directory; add a line to that file for everything you want git (and therefore git annex) to ignore, e.g. \".thunderbird\"
e.g.:
echo '.thunderbird' > '.gitignore'
check that file into git:
git add .gitignore
git commit -m 'check in .gitignore'
Now you should be able to start up git-annex again and have it ignore .thunderbird, or any other path you put in .gitignore
