When I start thunderbird 52.4 32 bits on my windows 10 x64 version 16299.19 (i.e. Fall creators 1709), the programm is very slow and finally end by a pop up about : Script: chrome://messenger/ contenVmaiiWindowOverlay.js:1453 is busy or not reponding!! I have tested on the safe mode and it is the same issue. I have turn off the two research options (windows and index global.sqlite) without luck!!

putting 0 on the "Dom.max_chroms_script_run_time" will avoid the pop up but not the long time for haviing the control of thunderbird

right. this is not a solution.

A better safe mode test (it is helpful to do both at the same time)...

Start *Windows'* safe mode with networking enabled - win10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode Still In Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode - https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

Does problem go away?

thanks Wayne Mery for responding,

As suggested, I have tried windows and Thunderbird both on safe mode and I got the same answer : the pop-up about chrome......js not responding at the right speed..my value is 10s right now. I can increse it to 20s

Have you another guess ? is it possible that the size of my different local mail folders a problem? the full "Local folders" is around 13.Go and one file is arong 1.1Go

re :Fall creators 1709 update

Did this slowdown occur/get worse after this update ?

more options

The answer is fully YES... I start to get this error due to a time out only after this fall creator update.

Please tell uis what you have here: 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'Network & Disk Space' tab By default this setting is usually selected: “Use system proxy settings”.

Do you have this setting?

more options

No it is on "automatic detection of the proxy parameters for this network" or something similar.. it is my traduction of my french option!

re :I start to get this error due to a time out only after this fall creator update.

Yes there are a lot of various complaints if you search on google.

Do you need that update ?

Yes I guess that it is neded for avoiding the SMB V1.0 protocole securising the Wifi recently detected vulnerability.

So up-to-now, this long starting is annoying but I prefer security of Windows versus saving 20 secondes in thundebirfd

a complementary information about my slow starting : if I uncecked all the automatic readings new mails at starting thunderbird starts 'normally'.

is a special configuration of an imap account can freze or slow down heavily the sarting?
