Thunderbird is extremely slow with new UI update 128.3.tesr

[Sheldon]

First....  I love the over interface and functionality of Thuderbird...... However, there is extreme latency and delays with almost all activity ..... Composing /typing emails, doing bulk (delete) transactions, etc.  I am currently using Thunderbird update 128.3.tesr.

I would imagine that there are background processes that are causing these ongoing delays.  

PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.... It is most critical for the success of Thuderbird!

Thanks, in advance, for you attension to this problem/issue!

The same here. Since the last update TB seems to lag for no reason and especially deleting mails sometimes take ages with freezing of the main-window here on Windows 10.

Me too! I'm now on 128.5.2esr and TB's speed not getting better. TB seems to get stuck on the "Checking feeds for new items..." process that happens before it starts downloading - both processes are slow. I minimize the amount I download by using MailWasher to delete junk and spam emails. Mailwasher's listing and deleting is mega-super-fast! I've tried changing TB's sorting order from "date" to "order received and back" as suggested in another posting, but there is no improvement. TB was very fast and nice to use before this new epoch started and I sincerely hope that the devs will be able to untie the knots that are choking it now as a priority. When this is fixed I'll be turning off auto-updates!
