I hope this thread is still active. I have Thunderbird 60.0, running on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) SP1. I only use IMAP (not POP3) for my Email (outbound).artsnova wrote:I foolishly allowed Thunderbird to update itself to v45.2 on my Windows 7 PC (I say foolishly because the old version I was using was working just fine).
While I have no problem sending new emails out, Thunderbird randomly hangs when I hit the send button when replying to an email. It will just sit there until the connection times out. It looks like Thunderbird can't figure out how to read the email. Because if I cut all the text out so the email is empty, paste it into an ascii file, then copy that text and paste it back into the empty email I can send it out just fine. WTF???
Any suggestions other than uninstalling and going back to my old version?
Thanks.
I have the exact same problem that artsnova did: Thunderbird randomly hangs when I hit the send button, etc. There does not seem to be any reason for which replies cause the problem.
Look at the image I attached. https://imgur.com/a/86icbQu Screenshot #1 is the popup message I get. The blue bar just moves back and forth. One time I let it run for 10 minutes. What I was doing is shown in #2. I would do a Save, and then manually move the message to where it should have been placed.
But then by luck, I stumbled on a workaround. Instead of pressing Save (image #2) I press (image 3) Retry TWICE (at least 0.5 seconds between presses). This always works.
A person on another forum sent me a link on how to record all IMAP commands when I am replying to Emails, to see where the problem might be. I have just set it up, so have no data at this point.
Any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated.
