I have used Thunderbird for some years and generally love it. Now have Windows 10 installed on my laptop, Thunderbird latest issue and the programme is continually stopping responding (about 20 times a day). It appears to be worse when trying to delete mail from any of my accounts. Have restarted Windows in Safe mode, restarted Thunderbird in safe mode and tried fixes for similar errors given in forum but it makes no difference. Have reinstalled Thunderbird a number of times but I seem to be plagued by non responding. Thought I would ask for help before regrettably ditching Thunderbird.
