Newest version of Thunderbird is very slow to complete addresses of mail recipients.
Prior to version 31, I could just type the first few characters of e-mail addresses (for recipients) and then move on to the next field and the program would auto-complete the e-mail addresses.
Since updating to ver 31, I have to keep the cursor in the field and wait for the address to autocomplete and then sometimes when I move to the next field (probably based on whether I hit enter or tab, I guess) the e-mail address actually changes to a different one.
Would be great if developers could restore the very convenient prior function of the e-mail address autocomplete.
Welcome to the new, broken address book. The only fix that I know of is going back to version 24.6 until they fix the new version. I have delayed the upgrade due to this and other problems with V31.

If Thunderbird and Firefox is running the Thunderbird is very slow!
If Thunderbird and Firefox is running, the Thunderbird is very-very slow - in Windows 7!
If Firefox closed Thunderbird is run fine... very good. If i reopened Firefox browser... the Thunderbird is very-very slow again.
What is the problem?I thought I was crazy. I pared back all my plugins to just gestures and adblock plus. If my Linux Ubuntu FF 19.0 sits overnight, opening a new tab takes 30 seconds!!! And it's just completely sluggish. I must restart FF to get back to normal performance.
FF slowly starts taking over 100% CPU during this time as well. -
My I Mac, using 10.8.4 is very slow, mail takes forever to open and the spinning pinwheel starts every time I try to use mail. any suggestions?
What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
How full is your Mac's hard drive?
How full is your Apple Mail?
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps? -

Address book very slow to show addresses
When I start up address book, although the application opens up quickly the addresses take several minutes to appear in the window. I can't be completely sure but I think it may be related to upgrading to OS X 10.6 - I don't remember this being a problem some months back.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
- VikasIn addition to this problem, from time to time the Address Book will slip into "Beach-ball" mode and (not necessarily coincident because this is consistently a problem) access to the Contacts in Mobile me is also either very slow or simply unavailable!

Why is Thunderbird running very slow on Windows 7 CAUSE: McAfee
Installed Thunderbird ver 31.6.0 on my desktop Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 32bit, 4G ram, Intel i5 2.66 GHz,
a few months ago and it ran great at first.
Now that I've used it awhile it has slowed down considerably.
All functions of Thunderbird are slow, clicking to highlight a group of messages, deleting even just a single message, opening a message, etc.
It has compacted the folders several times, and I do not have a large number of stored messages (maybe total of all folders including trash, spam, sent, etc is around 500).
I am running McAfee Anit-Virus which does scan email attachments.
Has there been reports of slow performance with Thunderbird on Win7?
Perhaps my problem is caused by McAfee?
Thoughts, suggestions are welcomed,
Thank you,
Ken<blockquote>

If the above doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Very Slow POP3 access in Mac Mail
Hello All,
I have found that downloading email via POP3 is extremely slow compared with IMAP for MAC Mail.
I received my new imac a few days ago and have being trying to setup my mail account with Mac Mail (I've updated the system software to the latest).
When I tried the Mac mail application with my Gmail account via POP3; it was extremely slow to download emails (10 to 20 seconds for each email to download). Plus when I sent an email to myself, checked that I had received it in the gmail web interface, and then did a 'get mail' in Mac Mail, the email didn't appear!
So I switched to IMAP and found that it downloaded much quicker (several emails a second) and I can send/receive emails with no delays.
While this problem is solved for me, my wife uses yahoo mail, which doesn't support IMAP!
Has anyone found this problem with their pop3 email accounts? I've also found that the pop3 seems to download multiple copies of the same emails.
As you can imagine: this is so frustrating, email is such a basic feature that I would have expected it to work straight out of the box. Anyway, so much for buying a new mac and expecting a smooth experience (unlike the problems I was having with windows)
Does anyone know how to fix this??
Cheers,
Don
P.S. Apologies for the rant! Besides this email issue, I am very impressed with Mac OS XTry resetting some of the hardware involved (PRAM~NVRAM). See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently. -
Firefox becomes very slow with Yahoo All-New Mail
Problems with the Yahoo! All-New Mail version: Everything was working fine, but since the last two Firefox updates I began noticing that Yahoo was consuming a lot of CPU (it varies from 35% to 40% and is on the top list of programs CPU consumption) and the experience of navigation becomes not so pleasant - slowness. If I quit Firefox and reopen it, becomes faster, but after about 30 min slowness / CPU high consumption start again. Then I had to come back to Yahoo Mail Classic version and everything works fine and less CPU consumed. Is it only me experiencing this? Is it a Yahoo Mail issue? Is there a solution? (Macbook Pro early 2011/ Mac OS X 10.7.4 / Firefox 12.0) Thanks!
Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker.

Firefox will access..though the screen goes "Milky" at any attempt to browse. Another browser is working..so this is NOT my computer's problem.
In solving at least part of my own problem I've just discovered that in my just upgraded version 4, at least with Yahoo mail, I find that if I initiate printing an email from the orange upper left "Firefox" drop-down, only page 1 prints. HOWEVER, if I click on the "print" button immediately above the message, the entire message prints properly. Some web sites still only print page 1 because there is no other way than the drop down to access a print dialog box.

Mail app very slow auto completing recipient field
after typing in a few characters in any recipient field in mail I get the spinning beach ball for up to 20 seconds while mail tries to automatically complete the address, is there anyway to reduce the lag time without turning this feature off.I have cleared the "previous recipients" window. LDAP is also configured (doesn't seem to make any difference). Making mail unusable at the moment....help greatly appreciated
Please confirm that in your Home folder's Library, you find the folder Application Support, and in that folder, you find the AddressBook folder. Open the AddressBook folder and report the files and folders within. (~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook)
Also, again in the Finder, check ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist for dates created and last modified. I am thinking this one may need to be removed, and AB allowed to create another, but not yet suggesting that.

Email very slow to send from Mac Mail
Hello,
Wondering if anyone else has this problem. Whenever I open up Mac Mail, the first emails I try to send via the btinternet server take more than 5 minutes to go, sometimes closer to 10. It doesn't seem to be a problem with Mac Mail itself as messages sent via other servers go immediately. Once the first email eventually goes, subsequent messages send fine. I'm using POP (as I always have) with ssl, port 995. Mac is 10.6.8.
The problem started a few weeks ago when I went abroad for work and used Mail via my hotel wireless system. Not sure if that's just a coincidence.
Any advice most welcome!
Michael
Solved!
Go to Solution.Ok. It may be that the Mail index files are clogged.
You can check your current 'envelope archive' size by entering this in the Terminal (simply Copy and then Paste the lines into the Terminal window to avoid any typing errors):
ls -lah ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index
Then to optimise it (cleans out stuff that has been marked for deletion but not actually deleted, defragments the structure, etc):
sqlite3 ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index vacuum;
Then check your envelope archive size again to see the results:
ls -lah ~/Library/Mail/Envelope\ Index
In terms of size the decrease will not be huge, but you may well notice an increase in speed. -
In the newest version of Thunderbird my inbox doesn't show anymore the arrow that indicated I have replied to an email, which is quite annoying. The arrow to indicate I have forwarded a message is still there but the other one is gone. I like to have it back.
You did run ''Thunderbird'' in its safe mode (as opposed to Windows or even Firefox)?
I too would suspect a theme. And Thunderbird's Safe Mode disables all such add-ons. -
