Also, when I go to task manager to close Tbird, It shows "not responding" and takes about 3-5 minutes to close the program
What is your anti-virus software?
System Mechanic Pro
Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

- Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
- XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx
Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Does the problem go away?
OK. When I booted into safe mode w/networking Tbird worked just fine. So, now what do I do??
Most likely your anti-virus software is causing this. Make sure not to let it scan your Thunderbird profile folder, and don't let it scan incoming and outgoing messages. If in doubt contact the System Mechanic support.
