Hello there We have read the question We try to help

It is also possible that your internet connection is in bad times and there is a poor network connection with your equipment. Please also check this carefully at the moment.

what is your process of receiving dubble inbox mail for Thunderbird if I may ask? Does this happen when you spontaneously receive one or more duplicate emails? Or do you continuously receive the same emails in your inbox that are the same?

Hello there


Regarding the freezing of your Thunderbird software, it may freeze at startup and your system including Thunderbird becomes very slow, but it could also be your software.

If you have Windows, do you try to boot into a safe mode that is located there, and do you also try to boot into troubleshoot mode for Thunderbird, the question is whether it now responds normally in these two modes?

if not then it may be a bug in the program.

If so, it may have been due to another software program that starts up immediately, for example, when your system starts up.

Hello there

If your problem persists, please check the installed add-ons that affect this software. Disable this and see if you notice any changes in your use of the Thunderbird software.

I have checked my internet connection and it is working fine. If you ask, nothing changes in Inbox view, it is not filled with duplicate emails. The email download process runs in the background. Does not creates emails in inbox. My question is what makes thunderbird to start the email download even if they are already present in Inbox??

Hello there

Thunderbird does not download to your inbox? You can see your emails but there is no content?

Thunderbird checks your inbox approximately every ten minutes. If you can access your server settings, you can adjust them there so that you do not have to check again that you need to download and/or perform the same actions to send data to your email inbox again. If this does not apply, it may not be necessary.

Make it clear that your email receipts can be properly received on the account you selected.

Enough space in your storage device and space in your inbox and keep an eye on large numbers of MBs and Gigs per shipment.

Hello there

you can look for a solution with your Antivirus program or reset an index. See if you can adjust AV settings so that you no longer have problems if it could be related to your AV settings.

disabling parts of the security software and also disabling the software parts found herein or reducing the security level, you can temporarily disable the entire program, this could be a solution.

Can you continue or not be offered a solution, even if parts such as a register or part are deleted during a reset?

Then you can also delete the entire program and try to reinstall it or transfer certain data to a newer version of Thunderbird. And also use backup.
