If you run both, Windows Defender and Kaspersky simultaneously, get rid of one. Running two anti-virus scanners at the same time will ultimately cause problems. And don't let your anti-virus software scan the Thunderbird profile folder. Don't let it scan incoming and outgoing messages. Don't let it scan email attachments.

What is your anti-virus software?
christ1 antivirus is windows defender and Iolo kaspersky,i think..I cannot locate AppData using manual search i get to c:users\rext\Apps but NO AppData fileTHAT is the problem..ALL other Temp,tmp are EMPTY! and if I wait long enough the problem vanishes! so it is weird! thanks for your interest rex thompson
Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.
- Win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
- Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
- XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx
Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Does the problem go away?
christ1, by the time I start windows/thunderbird in safe mode the problem would have VANISHED..so I cannot TEST your solution??there is NO file named AppData in the error message so I cannot check temp/tmp files.. the problem solves itself after a certain number of trying to SEND email.. I know it is weird but it slows me down frequently and I AM grateful for your interest! any ideas on how to solve? thanks rex thompson
