Choppy response times with Thunderbird
I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and its up to date. I've had more and more problems with choppy response times lately. It "freezes" for short periods where the interface stops responding for half a minute, or a minute or so before I can do anything. It always comes back (never crashes, shuts down). Today was some of the worst where it was minutes before I could start using it.
My junk and trash folders are empty, and I've done a compression and run the cleanup operation on a bunch of folders. My Inbox is empty. I only have 2 pop accounts. Its not when its retrieving or sending email though.

If you're running Windows, you could launch the OS in safe Mode to see if it works as it used to. If it does, it would be more likely to be a conflict between TB and something running in the background.
Then, turn programs on one by one if it works fine to see where the conflict is.
There's another user who has just posted that the problem he posted about on 16/12 has suddenly resolved itself with no input from themselves.
