Hello, In Thunderbird... Since a recent update (perhaps within the past month), when I delete an email, it takes some time and goes to "not responding" briefly while it waits. This also sometimes seems to happen when sending. But it does NOT happen when receiving messages, so I am doubtful that it is anti-virus related (using only Windows Defender, no 3rd party anti-spam or anti-virus.)

This never happened before the update. Currently using 128.4.1esr (32-bit), but that update was just this morning and it was happening prior to that.

Any thoughts?

Thanks. Scott

Better? Worse?

If not better, try setting hidden preference accessibility.force_disabled to value of 1 at Settings > General > Config editor.
