Thunderbird 128 very slow to resume after sleep/hiberante on a surface running Windows 11
I am running Thunderbird 128 (any version) on a Surface Pro 9 running Windows 11. After sleep/hibernate or going into energy-saving mode, TB hangs for a period of minutes. Eventually it comes back, but it can take 5-10 minutes.
I do not have this problem with TB 115 on the same machine, or TB 128 on other machines (e.g. running Windows 10 or Ubuntu). TB 115 on the same machine can take a few seconds to come back (longer than on my other machines), but that s OK.
I have the same expereince whether or not I am troubleshoot mode. I have created a new profile with no add-ons (and less acounts) and I have the same problem. I was wondering if it is something to do with the fact that I have 8000 folders, and somehow TB is hanging while it checks all the folders. That account is a fastmail IMAP connection, but I have experienced similar on a backup Microsoft Exchange account (again an IMAP connection) with similar number of folders.
Any help would be appreciated.

8,000 folders in one imap account? What are the message counts for Trash, Spam and Inbox? What do you see in Tools > Activity Manager and Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) during startup?
Thank you for your interest.
Trash, Spam and Inbox have 114, 2 and 4667 messages respectively; please note that TB 115 works fine with those number of messages, so I do not think that is the problem. Also, in case it is of relevance, I ony show subcribed folders.
Re startup, it depends on what is meant. If I close TB 128 before sleep/hibernate then startup TB after sleep/hibernate then all is fine. The issue is resume after sleep/hibernate. Often in that case it is quicker to close the "not responding" instance of TB and start again.
The console export is below and attached as an image. I woke the computer from hibernate at 09:31 (so there is a message there) and then at about 10:25 (no message).
Rather weirdly, my battery was running low, so I plugged in my charger and TB 128 promptly hung, but came back after a couple of minutes. My guess is that there is some strange interaction between my Surface's power options and TB 128 on Windows 11.
