What shows in Thunderbird activity manager at that time. I find it is often indexing the monitor reports that Thunderbird is determining what needs to be indexed. When it gets to much, I delete the global index and let it start again. It is notoriously problematic with getting out of sync with reality. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/rebuilding-global-database

thanks, I didn't know about this process nor about the activity manager, but I'm afraid it's something else. I even did the rebuilding process but it was rather quick.

Hello there

Using the Activity manager .

Activity manager The usage of 10% on the pc is normal it is normally oke for the use of a healthy background and it can go up to 15%.If the usage is not 10% or 15% it went after a direct startup of Windows . .

Well I can say for sure that in previous versions, Thunderbird used less than 1% CPU. Here is a screenshot of my task manager of when I open Thunderbird for a minute. Btw, I just discovered that it also uses some bandwidth. It might be linked to a problem with the chat functionality.

If you problem is not chat related, and a necessary factor is a Thunderbird upgrade, then we should be able to find the cause through a combination of information from you: 1. A performance profile using https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiling-thunderbird-performance 2. A regression range using https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/quickstart.html

Couldn't do a performance profile - The profile setting window was blank and profile.firefox.com showed no recent results after running the test with default options.

However, I used mozregression to switch to version 135 and everything works great, I have a 0% average and it peaks to 2% when I open a big mail with pictures.
