Thunderbird very slow

Thunderbird automatically installed the latest version 115.3.3 onto my desktop running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit but ever since it's really slow. When I start it up it takes 15 to 20 seconds before it downloads any emails - the blue prgress bar in the bottom right hand corner takes that long to finish.

Then, often, when I send even a simple email it takes ages for it to go once I hit send.

Does the new version have lots of bells and whistles that I don't really need and can disable to get it running as it used to? Or is there something I can do to get it working properly again? I'm not really all that technical so simple instructions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Mark

This should be much better now in current version 115 or the new version 128. If it is not, please post a new support topic. Thanks
