Downloading our email has become extremely slow, tedious almost. I suspect it may be related to recently updating the Thunderbird software, but I'm not sure.

Does problem change? (many users have found antivirus software causing problems)

If it did not get better, try changing the hidden preference accessibility.force_disabled to 1.

Please post your results. Thanks

Wayne, This did not solve my problem. I'm not exactly sure that I followed all the instructions properly. I am using Norton Antivirus and security/privacy software.

I would like to try the last procedure, but am unsure of where to find this or how to acces to make these changes: "If it did not get better, try changing the hidden preference accessibility.force_disabled to 1."

Please try accessibility.cache.enabled=true - you may need to create the boolean
