My emails come into Centurylink.net home page and Thunderbird gets them for there and displays them on my Thunderbird page. Thunderbird is my email client. It takes Thunderbird a very long time to get these emails tens of minutes for one short email. When I go to Centurylink.net they are there. This has just started in the past few days. Noticing that my Thunderbird is a 32 bit version and my windows 10 is a 64bit version, does that pose a problem for Thunderbird?

I was glad to hear that the Thunderbird 32bit and my OS Win/10 64bit would have no bearing on the problem..

Looks like my provider had the problem as today it is back to normal.

Thanks for the replies. Pete

No.

What is your anti-virus software?
