I've been using TB since 2.x, and currently on 3.62.10. This hanging connection center thing has been around for a while... I've narrowed this down to an issue with how TB handles netwok connections (duh, right?). Using a VPN, I've been able to reproduce these symptoms on demand. Because of how the VPN works, I haven't been able to turn a packet sniffer on it to see what is really happening. All I can tell is that, for me, the hanging connection center will happen if the network connection is in a transitory state: the vpn is being setup or being torn down when TB hits the network. This is a case where the network seems ok, but it really isn't. Knowing/Assuming this, my workaround is to ensure the network connection is always solid through the use of proxies. I have 1 pop account that goes through k9 and then a ssh tunnel, and 1 pop and 1 imap through a proxy which then hits the vpn. If the connection center ever hangs, I can either stop the ssh tunnel or k9 to unwedge that account, or I can restart my local proxy to unwedge those accounts. I've been using this setup for about 3 or 4 months now, and I haven't had to force quit TB.
