What is your anti-virus s/w?
My anti-virus is McAfee.
Exclude your Thunderbird profile folder from being scanned by McAfee. More information in this article.

No, the article didn't seem to solve the problem.
Of the three suggestions in the article, I was able to : 1. Disable McAfee Anti-Spam Thunderbird Extension 2. Disable email attachment scanning
But unable to find in McAfee: 3. Disable scanning of Thunderbird files and folders

You'll need to create an exception in McAfee for your Thunderbird profile folder. To find your profile folder:
AppMenu button - Help - Troubleshooting Information - Profile Directory - Open Directory
