In some mailboxes, very slow opening/deleting emails. In other mailboxes it works just fine

In my inbox, very slow opening some (not all) emails. To delete the problem emails takes 40-50 seconds. Also, I keep marking many emails as "junk" and yet I keep getting maile from those spam senders. Also, these problems happen in some of my local folders, but not in all of them?? Had no problem with prior version

Are you using McAfee anti virus by any chance?

Is this question about Thunderbird, or with a webmail service and Firefox?

No! I am using iolo System Mechanic Pro

Yes. In safe mode it went away. Now in regular mode it is back

Don't let your anti-virus s/w scan your Thunderbird profile folder, i.e. create an exception for it. And don't let it scan your incoming and outgoing messages in case it is doing that.
