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 don't use TB for newsgroups, preferring to keep things separate and using Seamonkey. -- Blue |

However, I don't know what you were doing wrong, but I have never had any freezing with any version of Thunderbird from its inception many years ago. -- Bob - Tetbury, Gloucestershire, UK Can you be a closet claustrophobic? |

I've been using Thunderbird for email since version 0.2 and have never experienced any "freeze ups." I have 15 email accounts, and three news accounts. It's most likely just another BillW50 self-inflicted individual problem. Others need not worry. -- -bts -This space for rent, but the price is high |

The temp freezing, i.e. it simply stops responding for a few seconds, and then resumes, is real. There's a recent thread about this In the Mozilla Thunderbird newsgroup. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.8.5 Firefox 24.0 Thunderbird 24.0 |

Always have regardless of the Windows version. |

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. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.8.5 Firefox 24.1.0 Thunderbird 24.0 |

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. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows Live Mail 2009 v14 Centrino Core2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz - 4GB - Windows 7 Home SP1 |

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. My version is 2012 (Build 16.4.3522.0110) and it works fine on Win 8.1. By "not broken" might mean the OP wants WLM to properly quote when replying to newsgroup posts. That was broke in version 15. Could be the OP meant some other "broken" functionality but didn't bother to divulge it to us which means we haven't a clue what the OP think is "broken". I know that when you have an old OS that Microsoft won't let you retrieve a newer version of Windows Essentials, including any component of it, like Window Live Mail. As I recall, it also limits the minimal version you can install. That is, if you're running Win7 then you get the latest version from Microsoft so that would be the same for Win8. The OP wants to install the old version 14 of WLM which is "not broke". I think all you get from Microsoft is a web installer; i.e., when you download Windows Essentials, you don't get Windows Essentials (or the components you picked) but instead get a small installer that does the component downloads and then installs those. Do you know where the OP can get the FULL installer for WLM version 14? |
