On Saturday I was in Thunderbird when an alert popped up asking if I would like to upgrade to the latest version. Without thinking about it I clicked on OK and then suddenly realised I had made a terrible blunder.
The new layout of Thunderbird is quite different than the version I was used to and it is really quite slow. I use MailWasher Pro as my spam filter and when I have viewed and vetted what is sitting in my box at the ISP's I tell MailWasher to process my emails. From being an almost instantaneous loading of Thunderbird to download the emails, there is now a considerable delay.
My wife has this version of Thunderbird installed on the Laptop and it is causing no end of problems for her, such as time out errors, cannot gain access to her domain site, tells her that the user name or password is incorrect, and so on.
Is anyone else having these sorts of problems with the latest upgrade of Thunderbird? If I could go back to the previous version I would but, having trawled the 'Net, it appears that this is not a recommended course of action.
It seems that Thunderbird has lost its way or has become just too clever for its own good. I think that I'm going to have to consider changing to Outlook, a prospect that doesn't particularly thrill me. Does anyone have a suggestion that might save us from having to make this change?
