During the day, every day, thunderbird stalls. A spinning circle is displayed and new messages cannot be read. The only way I have found to be able to read the new messages is to close thunderbird and restart it. Unfortunately, this is not a permanent fix and a variable number of minutes/hours later I have to do this again.

Vahaolana nofidina

None of the other steps had any effect. However, renaming global-messages-db.sqlite seems to have resolved the problems.

BTW, I do IT support for a number of businesses (my company is an MSP) and several customer contacts have reported the same behavior.
