Hi Jed,

I used to have that problem only on my desktop machine. My laptop did not have the lockup problem even though the settings are the same and my desktop machine is much faster.

In thunderbird, go to tools then options. Find the advanced tab and look for the general menu. When you tab through the general menu there are two items you need to uncheck. They are the global search and windows search items. After I unchecked these items, no more lockups after deleting messages.

Hey guys,

For some unknown reason, i am having sudden thunderbird lockup issues.
Here's what's going on.  First of all, is there any sort of mailbox
repair?  That's the first thing taht omes to mind.
I'll get a bunch of messages in my inbox, and after i go through them,
hit control A as i have always done to select them all, then hit
delete.  This is when the slowness start.  It use to just get rid of
them instantly, now it seems to just slow down the computer.
I will eventually do an alt tab to get back to the program, and it
says inbox mozilla thunderbird, then it says this thing, task switching.
At this point, when i tab, it's like i have nothing on the screen.  It
takes anywhere from 20 to 46 seconds roughly as i timed it, for the
program to come back to focus.  This has never happened before.  I did
a malware scan, and had 51 instances of malware on the machine, but
it's still doing it. Anything else i should do?
