If I leave Thunderbird open and my computer goes to sleep, Thunderbird has disappeared when I wake up the computer and log in. When I double click the short-cut, nothing happens. I must re-boot to be able to open Thunderbird again. The other phenomenon I experience is that sometimes when I come back to my computer after leaving everything up and running, is that the "do you want to send un-sent messages" pop-up is open several dozen times, requiring repeated closing of the pop-up (clicking "No"). I am running the latest available version of T-bird. Thanks!

Sounds to me like your computer is turning off the network connection that connects to the internet. sever dozen time if you have that message that many times. My guess is something in the power saving settings in control panel.
