TB has slowed way down. I upgraded to 102.3.0 (32-bit). One thread on this forum suggested a series of steps including repairing the inbox folder.

I have dozens of folders. Is there a way to repair ALL the folders?

One person who also uses TB but is not an expert suggested deleting messages of even folders that are no longer needed. (e.g., sufficient time has passed that I would no longer need to keep them.) closing TB backing up the profile deleting all MSF files backing up that profile uninstalling the 32 bit TB installing the 64-bit TB

Is that procedure reasonable?

Deleting messages that are no longer needed is always prudent, but that has little impact on performance. I do always recommend backing profile up when making a major change. However, I believe you are safe to download the 64-bit version and installing over the 32-bit version. Uninstalling and reinstalling seems unnecessary. However, if you prefer that, I suggest copying the c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder in entirety prior to the uninstall. Then install ver64-bit. Then copy the backup directly back to the same place (it will overwrite existing files, which is expected). Doing that, Thunderbird will start without a hiccup.

Installing 64bit will have no impact on performance - it is a myth.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems has a pretty thorough checklist. Yes, it is long, but there are many possible causes for slownes. It is ordered so that the most common are at the top.

The one item missing there is calendar related checks - and version 102 does currently have some calendar induced slowness.
