TB locks up when copying an email to a folder (for example replying to something and I have enabled copying to the folder I am replying in); or when it refreshes a folder with 20000+ mails which happens just randomly. TB does not ever say what it is doing exactly so I really have no means to fix it. Is there anything I can do to TB to make less single threaded? Randomly waiting for half a minute for an email to open is weird in 2020 :-/
The weird part is let's say I open a thread with 100k+ mails (like, linux kernel mail list), I can see TB updating the folder, the message list changes but I am still able to click on messages, switch folders so the lockups I am seeing are something else, like, IMAP timeouts.
I had a thread like this here before http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3025233 but it never was explained why is this happening.
TB 68.11.0, Fedora 31, Corei7, 16GB RAM, lenovo x1, 3 mailboxes - 2 of gmail and one corporate, all IMAP. What number of mails per folder is considered reasonable for TB to not lock up, what is the expectation here?

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
I have experimented with folders that had 100K messages in the past and while there was a long delay when opening it did not lock up. You might be running into a connection timeout problem due to your ISP. However, its a poor idea to have a inbox with tens of thousands of messages. Move most of them to child folders.
Lightning is now built-in and a resource pig. "Thunderbird loads a folder's *.msf file into memory whenever it opens the folder. By default it keeps up to 30 *.msf files open for 5 minutes (and their contents in memory), unless they are "special" folders, which it never closes. It loads the inbox.msf file for every account on startup." Keeping inbox folders to a reasonable size is the easiest way to improve performance.
My normal rule of thumb is to keep my inbox under a thousand since I don't notice any delay with that limit and I like to file messages into a organized folder hierarchy (since I dislike global search and I find it awkward to use more than a dozen different tags). Given your preferences, five thousand might be a better target for you.
Have you thought about using a message filter to automate moving any new messages sent to a very active mailing list to a dedicated folder?

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
These 100K mails already sorted to a folder, I have about 20 folders for sorted mail, only one is above 100K, others between 20..60K mails, all mail is sorted and inbox is almost always empty. And even if I was not using folders, locking up with "kill or wait" from gnome is not right. ISP is fine. I am not complaining about TB being slow, lockups is what bothers me - it does that, fans go on, and I do not know when it is going to be back to normal. Reply to mail, it copies the reply to the folder with the original mail.... and locks up again. It definitely helps to have less than 50K mail in each folder though but bulk removal is another pia in gmail

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3063338 was written by somebody whose Thunderbird installation randomly froze with 78.0 and 78.1 (but not with 68.*). That was fixed by upgrading to 78.2. Its not clear why as 78.2 didn't have a related bug fix. Perhaps you're running into a unusual configuration specific bug.
Did you have this problem with earlier versions of 68.*? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Go_back_to_an ... hunderbird
Try running Windows in safe mode with networking. If the problem doesn't occur then you probably have a interoperability problem with either the latest version of your anti-virus scanner, or a windows driver (usually either graphics or mouse).
It wouldn't hurt to also try help -> restart with add-ons disabled to see if it could have been due to a incompatible add-on.

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
Several earlier 68.x.x have this problem.
Disabling addons has no effect, still locks up and eats 100% CPU.
It is not Windows, it is Linux/Fedora31 but TB is not from repo, I downloaded tarball separately. No antivirus.
I guess I have to give 78 a try now...

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
78.2.1 has the same problem - run, open a folder which I did not open for a week = lockup. Funny enough I had TB in offline mode (new tiny icon in statusbar -> I clicked and did not unclick) - still, lockup, ~30sec later - "cannot show message in offline mode". The last message in statusbar before it locks up is often "Deleting xxx messages from folder yyy".
78.2.1 is faster otherwise, nice improvements, if only openpgp worked with yubikey (I am back to enigmail)

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
I keep updating the TB (now 94.0b3 (64-bit)) and it keeps locking up, annoying 
I understand if it is slow on huge folders but it is literally the only I run which shows the unresponsive window dialog with the "wait"/"kill" choices. I am typing a message and then out of nowhere TB decides to take a break for 30..60sec

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
95.0b3 still has the problem. The lockup delay totally depends on the number of messages in IMAP folders, cleaning up help but it does not eliminate lockups completely, still 30+ sec. I understand delays with updating the message list but I do not understand why mail editor has to freeze.

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/art ... th-OpenPGP talks about using yubikey with OpenPGP. It requires a current version of the GnuPG. No idea if that would work with Thunderbird though.aik_au wrote:78.2.1 is faster otherwise, nice improvements, if only openpgp worked with yubikey (I am back to enigmail)
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/op ... to-and-faq is the support article about OpenPGP in TB version 78 and later
https://blog.thunderbird.net/2020/09/op ... erbird-78/ talks about "Unlike Enigmail, OpenPGP in Thunderbird 78 does not use GnuPG software by default. This change was necessary to provide a seamless and integrated experience to users on all platforms. Instead, the software of the RNP project was chosen for Thunderbird’s core OpenPGP engine. Because RNP is a newer project in comparison to GnuPG, it has certain limitations, for example it currently lacks support for OpenPGP smartcards. As a workaround, Thunderbird 78 offers an optional configuration for advanced users, which requires additional manual setup, but which can allow the optional use of separately installed GnuPG software for private key operations."

Re: TB locks up when switching folders or randomly
I think they're not paying much attention to performance yet and you aren't a typical use case. They still need to improve the situation for first time users with a large mailbox and a IMAP account. Global search/indexing can make Thunderbird unusable while its creating the search index from scratch (fetching every message in every folder) for the first 5-30 minutes.aik_au wrote:95.0b3 still has the problem.

I suggest you move most of the messages in your inbox to other folders/child folders.
