I changed ISPs and had to change the server settings. Now one of my two email addresses crashes every time I try to read the emails.
At first Thunderbird downloaded every email from the problem account going back to 2011. I changed the server settings to only download emails from the last 15 days and to delete any messages older than 15 days.
I can send emails from this account and my other email account works fine for sending and reading mail. However, this problem account crashes Thunderbird every time I try to read the messages. There are now only 300 messages in the inbox and I've been able to have them marked as read. But I still can't read any of them.
What's the fix on this?

Do you have a crash ID?

No, I don't have a crash report. It just freezes until I close the program.
If it freezes, then why did you say it crashes?
What is your anti-virus software?
In my world freezing is the same as crashing ... the damned thing doesn't work.
My anti virus is AVG

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Does the problem go away?
