You had no trouble with 128.5.0?

• Start Windows in safe mode with networking enabled - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode
• Still In Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-mode-thunderbird

Does problem change? Pop accounts or imap accounts?

Please post to let us know

Booting up in safe mode made no difference. I usually have my configuration set to pop3, because I do not want my email synced to the original server has with IMAP. If I delete off of the original server, my Thunderbird emails deleted as well when using IMAP. If I try to save the email's off to another folder before hand, it just gets mirrored on the host server. The only recourse I can see now is revert back to older Thunderbird.
