When accessing my inbox, Thunderbird slows down so much it is almost unuseable. I keep getting a pop up window telling me that the script: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:180 is taking a long time to complete, and would I like to stop it. If I do stop it, Thunderbird sometime speeds up for a minute or so and then the problem starts again.

What did you determine is causing your slowness?
