Trouble moving messages to certain local mailboxes in Thunderbird

[BG42]

It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Try R. click one of the four folders > Properties > click 'Repair folder' button. Then R. click folder > Compact. Repeat for the other three folders

Good idea (who knew), but the situation's the same.

That sounds promising, but for reasons they can't explain, I seem to be unable to log in to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird

I get the attached error screen, with NO options to sign up for a new account or "forgot password".

They claim they're deleting my old account, but they've done nothing for more than a week now.

This bug is worse than the issue I'm trying to report.

Who is "they"?  Can you email me a sample?  [email protected]
