When I am trying to read or open my Emails, I am constantly getting this message "Thunderbird is not responding". Why is this and what can I or you do to stop this. It is very frustrating because it is happening most of the time.

Sounds like you have another program which is causing the delay. It is most likely your Anti-Virus program scanning the email when you select to open it. Access your AV product and select the options to stop scanning emails and Thunderbird folders.
