Your antivirus programs may be part of the trouble. Try restarting your computer in 'safe mode with networking': http://www.howtogeek.com/107511/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-8-the-easy-way/ If Thunderbird performs better then you can adjust your antivirus scanning: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Anti-virus_Software
