Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64 bit) extremely slow deleting messages
I remember when you could select a range of messages and delete the lot quickly. This is how I maintain my email. For a while now, and still, it takes a bit to sort messages, normally for me sort is by "Correspondent". Then when I select a range and hit delete, I may as well go do something else. Thunderbird goes unresponsive for the long duration. It is a major problem.
I am still using Win10 Pro, system disk is an SSD (1 TB) and the data disk is a normal HD (4 TB). 16 GB RAM, a Lenovo tower. It is not running out of memory, the drive isn't over utilized either. A 15 message delete is slow, try over 100 messages!
All other programs run fine, it is used in electronics design mostly. This issue popped up a while ago and I kept hoping it would be fixed. It hasn't yet. The OS is kept up to date, no other changes. I do compact folders regularly, so indexes should be optimized.

try disabling your antivirus product and then deleting see if it makes a difference.
The way IMAP is done has changed from open a connection, send 100 deletes and close to each being handled as a discrete delete. This was to solve issues involving mail being lost when moving folders. It has undeniably slowed mail deletion but not to the degree we have seen reported, in most cases where folk are talking minutes for a few deletions the problem is antivirus related not Thunderbird, so try that first.
Hi Matt, Thanks. I'm using antivirus other than the Windows built in stuff. SuperAntispyware, but it doesn't seem to interfere with anything else.
I'll give it a try, but I do need to run antivirus. What is happening now is really unworkable. I've ben on IMAP for a while (Bell Canada), so this must have changed from when I started.
If anyone has any other ideas ... I can't not run antivirus, and I can't spend so much time deleting each block of messages either. Webmail is far too frustrating to use and I have always loved Thunderbird. I've used this client for an extremely long time.
