Installed Thunderbird ver 31.6.0 on my desktop Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 32bit, 4G ram, Intel i5 2.66 GHz, a few months ago and it ran great at first. Now that I've used it awhile it has slowed down considerably. All functions of Thunderbird are slow, clicking to highlight a group of messages, deleting even just a single message, opening a message, etc. It has compacted the folders several times, and I do not have a large number of stored messages (maybe total of all folders including trash, spam, sent, etc is around 500). I am running McAfee Anit-Virus which does scan email attachments.

Has there been reports of slow performance with Thunderbird on Win7? Perhaps my problem is caused by McAfee? Thoughts, suggestions are welcomed, Thank you, Ken
