HI, On September 16, Thunderbird did an update. Now it opens very very slowly and doesn't show the inbox. NOW the screen is FILLED with a BIG message that says THUNDERBIRD -- Support US.

Before the update, it opened quickly to the INBOX.

The INBOX doesn't open. It shows only a few emails and they are all gray and white. There aren't any GRID LINES separating the emails.

Messages refuse to send . Sometimes they send and sometimes there's an error message. I have to copy the email into WEBMAIL and send it from WEBMAIL.

HOW can I get the OLD THUNDERBIRD BACK????

I was depending on Thunderbird to run my business.

Since Thunderbird doesn't work anymore, I'll have to find another EMAIL PROGRAM.

Sincerely, Skippy Mardon

I think there are multiple layers to address here.

1. please post a screen shot of "screen is FILLED with a BIG message that says THUNDERBIRD -- Support US."

2. opens very very slowly - which actions (eg clicks) of yours are happening slowly?

3. doesn't show the inbox - are you using view > Unified ?
