Thunderbird is excruciatingly slow
Emily Wong
Thunderbird is excruciatingly slow - in every operation (I feel it most when compositing, but even just making my way through menus is sloooow). It feels like low memory, but I have 18gB or more of free RAM in Windows 10, and nothing else is running slowly.
What could I do to speed it up, as I am seriously considering switching email client, but don't know of anything as good?

Could be lots of things, including hardware. Suggest you review and post your results
Open Task Manager (alt-ctrl-delete) and look at your processes. The culprit could be thunderbird or another program that is hogging all your disk usage, cpu, and/or RAM.
If that doesn't work, reinstall thunderbird.
