Also, getting duplicate messages sent showing up in my Sent folder - don't know if recipients are getting duplicates or not. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!! - on the verge of switching! I do not have Mcafee installed - went through registry & deleted everything/anything to do with Mcafee Went into Firewall to make sure program was allowed through - it is What Next??!!

Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

- Win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode

- Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

- XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx

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

Does the problem go away?
