Thunderbird suddenly will not access inbox & barely randomly accesses others. Followed by "will not respond" and only forced shutdowns will close program.
For unknown reasons, Thunderbird (latest) on XP system suddenly is malfunctioning. Symptoms: (1) Cannot move mouse/hightlight or otherwise access the inbox for main account. Sometimes no folders at all. (2) Clicking on any thunderbird main menu control (such as help) causes the entire control line to disappear or otherwise become inaccessable. (3) Other main account folders seem to be accessible at random -- until thunderbird locks up completely. (4) Thunderbird refuses to close properly and displays both an "hourglass, waiting" and "not responsive" error message. (5) The only way to close thunderbird is by forcing it closed via windows xp. (6) Downloading incoming email from ISP's seems to work randomly now or not at all.
Deleting thunderbird and reinstalling thunderbird does NOT fix the problem, as it returns. With or Without McAffee active, problem remains.
UPDATE: No apparent solution to accessing account inbox. Brute force method restored proper function to inbox: IE - (1) move other account folders to a temporary account, (2) delete account and settings (3) recreate account and settings (4) move old folders back and into new account setup. Unfortunately, faulty account inbox/account cannot be removed/deleted by Thunderbird. The brute force method was only acceptable since I do not delete messages off the ISP servers until 90 days +/- afterwards. Thus all INBOX messages reloaded upon recreating account connections.
