Thunderbird constantly freezes when using google corporate mail services (spinning ball) (Mac OS X)
Howdy I've worked through the self help guides up to this point on eliminating performance issues in thunderbird.
With google corp e-mail (imap) and many folders/messages, thunderbird literally locks up and spins to high CPU for up to a minute. This even happens when in the middle of composing an e-mail message, which is very disruptive to using thunderbird as a mail client. I went through what was proposed to do with gmail based services, here: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/09/07/fix-gmail-imap-slows-thunderbird-mails-arriving-timely-fashion/
I've also rebuilt the global DB now a few times, but this has not helped. Are there additional things that can be done?
It would be nice if mail message editing was not delayed like this while thunderbird processes new inbound mail in the background (it would make end user not aware of whatever it is thunderbird is spinning over in the background w. IMAP)
Thanks Todd

first things first. If you have McAfee anti virus that will most likely be the cause (Recent release issue for them)
Most slow downs and script timeouts are a bad interaction with anti virus or other security software. Although a PC that is borderline in the system requirement can also exacerbate the issue.
The size of folders on disk can have an impact (any around 4Gb?) Have you unsubscribed the all mail folder? What version of Thunderbird. Older version have issues with reindexing all the time, with gmail
tgrayson,
Is version 31.1.0 better?? (should be out in a day or two)
