I've been using Thunderbird for many years, very satisfactorily until a month or so ago. I use a MacBook exclusively. Everything I try to do causes the spinning wheel to run sometimes for minutes, allowing me to click on something and continues running for another minute or so. It's making the functionality of Thunderbird useless to me. I see the message "Downloading XX of XXXX to All Mail" and I know further work is useless. Sometimes I click on a folder, like Inbox, and my whole MacBook freezes causing me to hard restart it. I am seriously looking for an email app that works efficiently.

When I clicked on Post Question, the response I got was "Access Denied." Now I KNOW I'm looking for a replacement app.
