It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Also very slow tagging or untagging a message just in those mailboxes.

Hello Thunderbird. I have used the product for years across Win95, Win7. I have graphics trouble with Win10 after an update last year. Some times the email text has strange colours and the odd missing character. Opening an attachment always has funny yellow or green chunky background. Zoom +/- cures this. See attachments. The display driver is AMD Radeon graphics. 504MB used. Single screen. The processor is AMD A10-9700 Radeon R7, 10 Compute cores. 8GB RAM The machine is a standard out of the box HP Pavilion PC 570. ON thunderbird no extensions or themes. Hope you can help! Thanks Mike

Not sure if if this is a settings issue. All good, except the Status Bar and progress bar do not show progress activity during prompted cleaning of all accounts, as before. I cannot tell if it's still working or not, or if I can close the program without crashing or corrupting something. I am guessing it's working as the HD light is busy. Eventually (some accounts are large) the status bar indicates it compacted to save ___MB. Version 152.0 on Windows 10, supported.

Whenever I do anything with email I get a message "not responding" which causes a delay for a few minutes before it proceeds This occurs with almost every action Open email, delete email, browse a different folder (eg Inbox to Sent) it suddenly started happening yesterday

Good afternoon!

We use Thunderbird for our business across several computers. However, on the main computer, we've suddenly received blank tabs at the top of the page, as if an open email thread is there. There are about ten or so of these blank open tabs, and you cannot exit them. The X button doesn't work on them, nor does Ctrl + W.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and we've tried a shutting everything down and restarting the computer, but nothing seems to get rid of the tabs.

Is this an issue others have experienced and, if so, what's the best remedy for it?

Thanks in advance!

Whenever I start Thunderbird, I get messages such as that some mailboxes cannot be compacted and some filtering cannot be done "because another operation is in progress". Why is this? How can I prevent it? It is a nuisance having to go and chase down and correct the filtering that has not taken place.

It is my custom to run spell check after typing an email. Today, sudenly, the write window hangs when I click on spelling. Does not happen in troubleshoot mode. I have no extensions installed and default theme. I did try disabling hardware acceleraton, but did not help.

Yesterday all workd OK, and thre have been no changes to the computer snce.

I posted this question some time back but didn't receive any helpful answers and don't know where my post is. In the upper right-hand corner there is suppose to be 3 symbols. One to lower the app, one to make the app full screen or partial and one with an X. I have jumbled symbols where the 3 good ones are. It does it in trouble shoot mode. I tried disabling addons but I can't get the normal symbols back. Here's what it looks like... Thank you for any help.
