Recieiving email problems on start up

Hi, I am running Thunderbird version 102.1.2 on Windows 10. I run 3 email accounts through Thunderbird. For a while now when Thunderbird first started up, I randomly would receive imap connections exceeded error. I unselected hardware acceleration and for whatever reason, that problem went away.

Now my problem is it seems to hang downloading new emails. You can see the blue line across the bottom just sit there. It don't display what account is hanging on. If I go up and check get all messages, it then seems to work ok. I tested it a few times once it had already been started for the day by closing and reopening it, seems to work fine. It seems this occurred on a fresh boot up.

One other issue at times, it seems to get laggy in deleting emails but then works ok No issues noted in sending emails.

Finally got a chance to try the safe mode. There was a slight improvement, but didn't solve the problem
