I love Thunderbird. I really do. But man it sucks that after all these years, still, the interface freezes while its downloading messages.

  I've long struggled with this. Another HN user pointed out that it could actually be Windows Defender causing the issue. I disabled it for Thunderbird, and things are now running much better. Hopefully this will work for you too!

    This explains why I've never seen behaviour like that. I'm one of seemingly five people running Linux on the desktop, avoiding Windows PCs.
