I've had an issue with Thunderbird where anytime I try and access the Preferences (Tools > Preferences (Options), my memory spikes to 90%+ usage (5GB ram) and doesnt respond.

It's really strange, everything else works fine. Browsing the inbox, viewing / sending emails, the account settings works, I can add / remove accounts but anytime I go to the Preferences, it doesnt respond and Memory climbs to 5GB used (see attached image).

Thunderbird on the inbox idles at 600MB

Going to safe mode allows me to edit the settings just fine, it is just when in normal mode where it spikes.

Thunderbird is on the latest version (91.1.2) (64bit) and the PC is up to date on Windows and has been restarted since occurring.


If anyone can recommend a solution / is having the same issue, please let me know.

Thanks for your detailed input. What you experienced is EXACTLY what TB does (91.3) on MacOS 11.6.1, so the OS does not seem to be involved.

JOOP!
