Recently update from W7 to W10 but I am not sure when the problem started except it was after upgrade. When I click to delete a received message, sometimes it works normally and the message instantly goes to trash but often it hangs for a minute or two with a message on the top bar saying "Thunderbird is not responding". The hourglass shows on the messages received page whilst this is happening.
