TB freezes while typing in email address

While typing the address in the to: box, thunderbird freezes.
I am on Ubuntu 14-04, thunderbird 31.5.0. The behavior happens periodically and also in safemode. It seems to be when i pause typing and it tries to look up the address in my address book.
It looks like the same issue as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013192, but that question is closed.

I looked at the question you referenced. Do you have a large address book as 'tektite' did (over 5000)? I can give you a link to the daily version for Ubuntu if you would like to try it. (I run on Ubuntu 14.04 also).

My IPad freezes while typing emails. Touchscreen keyboard as well as Bluetooth keyboard. How do I fix this?

It may certainly matter that the account is IMAP. Try the following variation of the procedure to re-create the index:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move the “IMAP-” account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folder, that account may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring it back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

I have typed in email addresses into Contacts, but when I try to do an email, most of them have an exclamation mark and won't let me send! Where am I going wrong ? It is really sapping my confidence!

Did you set up your email account info in Settings?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts > your account should be listed in there with the appropriate incoming and outgoing mail servers and correct user names and passwords.

Email problem when typing in email addresses using Mail on the iPhone 3G

Hi,
I have a problem whilst typing in email addresses into the Mail App To: field. Basically, what's happening is this.
When I first got the phone, I was using a Hotmail account as well as a Googlemail account which I had going through the Mail App, my hotmail address was used for work so on occassions, I would email my Hotmail account from the Mail App on my phone.
The problem I have is that I now have a new Hotmail account and when I start to type the address into the To: field in Mail App, it still shows my old Hotmail account address rather than the one I am now using. I only now send to the new Hotmail address so I thought that it would replace the old one when I start typing the address in the To: field.
Has anyone else found this at all? It's rather annoying as everytime, I have to type the whole address even though I have sent many recently and never send to the old Hotmail address anymore but the old address comes up as soon as I start to type the new address.
Can anyone please help me on this?
Many Thanks,
Adam

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

My iPhone freezes while typing

Hello
My iphone 6 plus freezes while typing. doesn't matter if I'm typing a text message or a URL the problem is everywhere. My collegue at my work has the same problem. I can still continue to type when it freezes, and when it unfreeze the letters are filled in like there's no tomorrow. It all started with iOS 8
It doesn't matter if it is Swedish layout or English layout on the keyboard.
best regards Jonas

Hello Lim,
To get in the horizontal and enlarged keyboard of the iPhone, simply hold the iPhone or iDevice in a horizontal manner. The gyroscope in the device will automatically sense this and will make the keyboard horizontal.
P.S You could tell us the app you are using unless you are using the the default SMS/ Mail app, because some apps do not support the horizontal keyboard.

Skype freezes while typing at random times. Window...

I'm using Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), along with the desktop version (not the app). But I also recall having a bit of trouble with this on my laptop (Windows 7 home edition 64-bit) as well.
At random times in the middle of my typing, Skype will freeze. It will remain frozen for a few minutes. When this happens, I usually just minimize it and do something else and check back on it to see if it's working. It always unfreezes, I haven't had a crash yet. However, this is getting to be very annoying. It happens rather frequently and interrupts my chat with friends.
I have already made sure that skype is not running in ADMIN or DEBUG mode, etc etc. I'm also using the latest version of Skype.
What could be causing this? And how might I be able to fix it?

Win 8.1
Using the Desktop version because, well, the modern version is unworkably stupid in too many ways to express.
30-60 second random freezes while typing. No crash. And call still work.
These type of Microsoft FAILS can surely drive a person to insanity.
Why do simple applications like these reduce in performance year after year wile doubling in file size many times over?
Years with this issue occuring and no solution from Skype. I am beyond words

When typing an email address, "matching" addresses appear...

as I type an email address on my iphone 4, "matching" addresses automatically appear below....does anyone know how I can turn this feature off and/or prevent the phone from displaying these "matches"?

I don't believe you can, just keep typing and ignore them, or if it matches the one you want stop and click on it.

How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing. I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming. There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone. There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge. In a text message you can. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit
I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
Apple needs to incorporate a 'hide keyboard' button

TB31 freezes when I start typing an email address

I recently upgraded to TB31 from 17, Running XPpro-SP3. When I type the first letter in the TO: field, TB freezes for a few minutes. I can sometimes reboot to clear this for a couple of emails, but then it starts freezing again. This is so annoying and time-consuming, I have to use Gmail for my outgoing email. Help!

Matt, Thanks for your response to this question (both postings).
I tried:
Restart with add-ons disabled--no joy
XP safe mode, TB add-ons disabled--no joy.
Downloded TB24.7 from archives--*Poof* problem solved.
I have been using Mozilla since about 1996. The TB31 update has caused me to spend the most time troubleshooting since then. There were several other 'glitches" that I had chased down, such as default printer and other issues earlier this week.
I'm not a programmer (last programming I did was Fortan IV on an IBM 360), but I'm an experienced computer user. I also run TB31 on my windows 8.1 ultrabook without problems.
My gut feeling on this particular issue is the system requirements. The problems occurred on a desktop, XPpro-SP3, 1.2gb single-core processor, 2Gb RAM. Although this is within the published system requirements, I think there may be some issues there.

When typing contact email address into TO: CC: oe BCC: Thunderbird responds very slowly and makes many errors unless typing very slow.

Using Thunderbird v31.0 Did not have this issue in previous version. Previous version responded with lots of pep and got the addressing correct.

My experience after two weeks - just to balance the ledger.
1) Absolutely no problems with reception/signal and the call quality is terrific.
2) The keyboard is wonderful. There are tips and tricks to using it, for instance you don't have to use the Alt key for every number if you're typing a sequence of numbers, just hit the Alt key twice and numbers will be the default. The space bar is in the perfect place for a phone keyboard, much better than in the middle where it is hard to reach with your thumb (we type so differently on a phone than a PC).
3) I have NOT had the phone freeze or lock up once in two weeks.
4) Have not experienced this either - no problems typing replies to emails.
5) Can't comment - haven't used the FM transmitter
6) Music Player is fine for me. I have not experienced any slowness at all.
7) I don't find selecting entry fields in the browser to be a problem and considering some of them are so small I was really pleasantly surprised about this. No problems using the browser at all here.
8) No problems here either. Calibrated my screen first up, find it very responsive. Admittedly I have long fingernails which act as 10 permanent styluses! But even so I play card games with little cards on the screen and hardly any pressure is required in my view.
9) Haven't noticed confirmation messages at all, so I guess they don't impact my use of the phone overly.
Overall, I find the phone a constant joy to own and use. You DO have to seek out the tips and tricks to getting around it and the shortcuts to things, set your homescreen up in the best way for you etc - but I have NO complaints about the phone whatsoever and recommend it highly.
