Has anyone noticed lately that after a Windows 7 PC returns from sleep Thunderbird occasionally hangs getting mail (F5). This is on the latest [60.9.1] (and most recent) versions. I usually put my PC to sleep when I go to sleep and wake it up the next day. My workaround is to not leave TBird running - that is, just run it when I'm getting/viewing mail.

Latest release version is 68. So your old version has been in the wild for more than a year, and this is the first report I have seen, but not the first report of issues on windows 7. So I am guessing the anti virus companies have ramped up their settings to compensate for it being out of support.

It might be also there is an issue with the network interface not waking when the system does, so Thunderbird tries to access a dead network. I could see than stopping it in it's tracks.
