Recently started to have an issue connecting to my IMAP server. Takes a long time to download new incoming e-mails. A lot of times out. Or if we click on a message it takes a long time to load the contents of the e-mail. All users experiencing this issue right around the recent update. All on windows 7 64bit.

'm still running windows xp 32 bit and my Thunderbird is set to the same connection settings and everything is fine. No issues

Seems like when I disable the synchronization it seems a bit better but issues still persists.

tried disabling the anti virus? Anything here that might give a clue? (check topics 3 and 5 in particular.

Otherwise look at the steps here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems#Diagnosis_Steps
