Hello, I am a long time user of Thunderbird and appreciate all the work that is going on to update the software. My simple piece of feedback, purely for your information, is that connecting to the Thunderbird and collecting messages has now become very slow. In the past the process was almost instant, not so now. I am sure that you are aware of this but if not I hope this is useful to you. Keep up the great work. Thank you. Gerry Bird.
