Hello David and thank you for your prompt answer. The situation between my mails ubfortunately remain the same. Nothwithstanding my re-installation of Thunderbird. I run a "HP ProDesk 200 GS MT" PC with Windows 11 and full virus protection etc. I clean my PC and run troubleshooting regularly. Never any problem. And now: Thunderbird opens at command and can be moved on my screen with minutes of delay. I can select mail address book and calender but I can not use them. Incoming ermails show on the screen but I can noy open them. If a drag an incoming mail to my Explorer app, then Explorer gets blocked and I must restart my PC. I can not open the Send Mail function. I can not open older mails on the Expolrer. Thus I am completedly stuck. Can you fix this problem? In case you can not assist me, I will load the Outlook program to get going. Pleas send tour commenst ASAP. Yours Jarl Jaatinen, Finland

This appears to be a problem caused by other software on your PC. I lack the expertise to know where to look or what to change. You might download a new copy of thunderbird and install over this one, It seems there is a conflict of some sort on your PC. it might be an antivirus program or VPN. If you are running an antivirus product, I suggest temporarily disabling it and rebooting. All antivirus products have settings to bypass email software. Let me know how it goes. Thank you..
