When I log in to Thunderbird, performance is fine for a little while, and then suddenly and for no apparent reason it slows down so that it is unuseable (5-10 seconds to complete one click command). The task manager tells me that it is occupying c10% of CPU. After a while it stops being slow and I can work for another few minutes, and then it slows down again. It is unuseable. I am using Thunderbird 128.6esr (32 bit) with Windows 10.

All help gratefully received!

Since some weeks TB is getting extremely disabled: very often apeears the message "no response" (German: keine Rückmeldung), and I can´t go on working with TB, just have to wait 5 til 10 ore more seconds. I guess, TB is dowloading emails ("456 of 1367" something like that is the message downside the window). That happens repeatingly. I have no idea when and why. I am managing 5 eMail IMAP accounts. Only in one account the inbox contains also the trash, the sent, the archive and other directories, which do not belong to the inbox. But I can not move them to the main directory of the account. All other Account seem to have the correct directory system. What to do?

Version 128.6.1esr, This just recently started. When I open an email and navigate to an advertisement picture within that email I used to be able to left click on that picture and it would open up a window in my chrome web browser. Now, when I navigate to that picture, all it does is show the icon that allows you to expand the size of that picture. Any idea's on how I can restore it back to the mouse arrow to allow me to click on the embedded link within the picture?

I have a repeatable issue that was present in Firefox but is now fixed (automatically, nothing I did). Hoping that we can find a solution in Thunderbird also.

I have a Mac (Intel) with a VPN connection (wireguard) to my office just for office traffic. Regular traffic bypasses the VPN. Every time the machine goes to sleep for an extended amount of time (overnight), Thunderbird's DNS resolutions fail. I have 8 different IMAP accounts (including 2 gmail accounts). None are using the VPN connection but direct email address.

After sleep, there is no more connections and the culprit is DNS failures on all accounts. This is the only software (and I have many running simultaneously!) that is affected. Solution is to shutdown Thunderbird and restart. Resetting the dnscache on mac doesn't work. *SOMETIMES* disconnecting from VPN and reconnecting resets it, but not always.

I had the issue with both Mozilla products (Firefox and Thunderbird) and was just living with it. But a recent update in Firefox fixed it on that software. I haven't looked at the release logs to see if anything changed.

So I'm guessing there is something we can do with Thunderbird to reset the DNS or something else when it comes back from sleep.

Let me know if any more information would be helpful.

Current Version is Thunderbird Nebula 128.7.0esr (64-bit)

This TB installation is used exclusively as a RSS feed reader, so no email accounts configured.

In the console I get the message bursts below. Is there anything I can do to debug/analyze this? I have no idea which RSS feed is causing these messages and for what reason.

My explanation might be confusing, for which I apologize in advance. I have Spectrum netmail. I recently installed Thunderbird; that went off without a hitch. When I open Thunderbird and try to get it to connect to Spectrum, I put in my full name, email address and password. Thunderbird then comes up with a configuration. However, when I hit "done," I get the following message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I thought this was a Spectrum problem, but after inquiring, they told me it was a Thunderbird problem. I have attempted to connect several times and have checked my username and password carefully to make sure they were correct. I have also attempted to configure manually, and that has also been unsuccessful. However, the hostname (mobile.charter.net), the incoming server port (993) and the outgoing server port (587) are all correct, according to information I saw on the Spectrum website. I'd welcome any suggestions to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

I am using TB 128.6.1 esr (64 bit) on a Tuxedo-OS laptop that is up to date as far as the OS goes. However, I have had the same issue on earlier versions of TB over at least a year and on Ubuntu so I think this goes back and isn't OS specific. What happens is that I select an ics file to import (to my google account). The import starts but only ever imports the first event. If I then reopen the same file and deselect the first event then the next is imported and I can work through all them but this is a big time waster. The ics follows below. I hope someone can see a fix.

TIA,

Chris
