I have been fighting with Thunderbird for about a week now and have not had any luck resolving my problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have tried all of the suggestions on the FAQ page.

Here are my symptoms: -Getting multiple copies of the same email with the same time stamp. -Not pulling new emails. -Whenever I try to navigate up or down through the inbox or open an email TB goes to Not Responding. -I have gotten the following script warnings: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323 Script: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:179

Here is what I have tried: -I have totally removed and reinstalled TB (and recovered my profile). -I compressed the folders. -I rebuilt the Global Database. -Starting TB in safe mode did not seem to make much difference.

Fortunately I have access to webmail through my ISP and it works fine.

Thank you!

McAfee have release a defective update, please contact them for support on changing the setting to something that actually works.

I have seen one poster here today that used their chat support and they "Fixed some setting" and all is now good.

Not good was not what I intended to say

I was able to create a new profile that syncs with my Gmail but I am unclear on how this will resolve my issue with my current profile. Could you please elaborate?
