About 90% of the time when I delete messages, the program stops and I get a "Thunderbird not responding," message. Some times the program will resume after a while, but most often I need to close the program via task manager.

You could try this fix : http://scottiestech.info/2013/07/05/quick-fix-thunderbird-hangs-when-deleting-any-message/

Or check and see if it is AV related , please notice that turning off AV will leave your PC vulnerable , but you could also already have virus problem (?) : https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#McAfee%3E

Yo, safeharbor!

Did disabling McAfee help? (please tell us)

more options

It didn't help. Thunderbird still locks-up, on occasion, when I delete. It also locks sometimes when I click to open a message.
