| 1433223 | 2017-03-23 22:46:00 | We have Mozilla Thunderbird and finding its very slow. I my account I have about 4500 emails, wife has 2836, another account has 4045 and lastone 100. Would this be why it's slowing down? Its a 32 bit and I have Windows 10 home. I search for a 64bit version and my Melwarbytes dont like that. Thanks, Ian |

| 1433224 | 2017-03-23 23:13:00 | Do you mean the Windows 10 is 32Bit ? if so it will generally only see 3GB of memory, which a little on the light side for W10. Was at a place earlier, they had a W10 4GB mem with outlook 2007, and it was struggling on the Email as well, mind you the PST file was 16GB :waughh: |

| 1433227 | 2017-03-24 00:10:00 | We have Mozilla Thunderbird and finding its very slow. not enough info to give a reasonable suggestion. :) Slow, slow to do what exactly slow to open Tbird, slow to open an email, slow to download new emails, slow to send emails with attachments, timeouts ????? Slow internet causing slow email downloads. ? could be the PC/laptop is just slow in itself ? Are we talking xtra email a/c's . They are just really slow & unreliable now if still on the old yahoo system (been alot worse for some the last few months) If on xtra, & now on the new NZ based xtra email servers, there can be issues as you have to re-download every single email again . Or a glitch in the system with pop3 can mean redownloading every single email on the serve again, that can be very slow |

Seems more so deleting emails, can take at least a couple of minutes to delete them. Re Xtra I am on Spark but had Gmail for a long long time and stopped using emails when they changed to Yahoo. |

| 1433232 | 2017-03-24 04:16:00 | For what it's worth -I've used MailStoreHome (Free) for many years and have archived mail from March 1998 -easily searched by date or subject or whatever. Run it about once a month to archive. If I upgrade to another PC or Windows Version then the archive is safe while Thunderbird is reinstalled. Have very few emails in the InBox and file them in other folders as soon as they're dealt with. Oh yes.. Windows 10 32bit 3.3GB memory i3 3.30GHz |
