Can somebody confirm that Version 14.0. 8117.0416 is the last
version that is not broken and can be safely used on Windows 8 RTM
64Bit machine. I had to recover my Toshiba machine which had
Windows 8.1 free upgrade but it was crashing all the time so I
decided to recover it and see if it works this time otherwise I'll
have to return it for a replacement.

I was helping my grandmother trying to set up Windows Live Mail so
she could use the Kodak printer's email scanned document feature.

Eventually, I gave up and resorted to TB.

I am wondering how she is coping with Thunderbird constant freeze
ups? I was playing with older backup copies from 2007. And I saw no
freezing with Thunderbird v1.5.0.8. So I wonder what version TB
started freezing? I know it is there in v12 too.

Hi, Bill.

Are you talking about a dead in its tracks freeze, or the temp hang up
it occasionally has, but recovers from? I get the 2nd one, but never
the first.

But I have long list of things that are buggy, but haven't forked over
the $$ to get Office for Mac and return to Outlook.

Yes all of mine freezes when it checks for new messages. If you turn off
automatic checking, it is fine. But if don't get new messages either.
