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

Since 24.3.0 is the current version, the best bet would be to leave all ancient versions alone and use that. 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. Same here. 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. If you believe your theory, I have a bridge I would love to sell you. ;-) Otherwise all you have to do is to search on the net and this is the number one complaint about TB. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows Live Mail 2009 v14 Centrino Core2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz - 4GB - Windows 7 Home SP1 |

I don't use TB for newsgroups, preferring to keep things separate and using Seamonkey. Funny, some have problems with OE6 and WLM too, I don't have those problems here.

When I found a bug in Windows 8, and the same bug was present in Windows 8.1 Preview, where could I report it ? Not to any publicly visible bugtracker, that's for sure. The fact it wasn't fixed in Windows 8.1 Preview, tells you how good the bug detection techniques (telemetry) are at Microsoft. Paul |
