Thunderbird loads slowly and I have to wait a minute or so before the Get Messages to work. How do I use the Safe Mode to fix the problem?

What is your anti-virus software?

I use Norton AV . I also use a spam filter (Spamihilator 1.5.0. Never had any problems with it, and it works great) but that doesn't start until I press the Get Messages button.

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?
