When I select multiple messages and delete them Thunderbird freezes. It might eventually delete and start to work eventually. Sometimes I get a warning that some script is busy or something like that. Stop script does not seem to do much.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and I have System Mechanic running to optimize memory, etc. Thanks

Try to start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled. - Win10 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode - Win8 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17076/windows-8-startup-settings-safe-mode - Win7 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17419/windows-7-advanced-startup-options-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode. - https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode
