Everytime I go into emails, after opening two or three I get thunderbird Not Responding. (OS running for several months) CAUSE: Unknown. Gone after reboot.
As stated in my question this happens everytime I am opening emails. After successfully opening two or three I get the not responding message when I attempt to open the next one. This has been happening for a long time and is very frustrating.

Hi Wayne. Thank you for responding to my question. I said your answer didn't
solve my problem because I couldn't understand what any of it meant. We usually leave our computer on all the time and a friend who is more savvy than I suggested we turn it off for a while. This seems to have worked.
Cheers. Stephanie.

So in other words, Thunderbird may have been running for say maybe a month without being shut down?
Hi Wayne. The computer itself, not the email site. We are talking months.
All is well now since we turned it off for a while.
Cheers. Stephanie.
OK. Please comment in this topic if you see the problem again.
