I've searched Thunderbird lists and have not found anything related to Linux lockups like I am having. I am running Suse 12.2 and just upgraded to Thunderbird 17.0.7. I have had this problem beginning several versions ago, for about the last year. The symptoms are: - I get "cannot connect to gmail server" errors. I have about a dozen gmail accounts active in Thunderbird and it doesn't say which account. I do get mail from some of them, but I haven't been able to determine if it is with a certain account. Some accounts do have very large amounts of emails in multiple folders. - Starting Thunderbird, very often it "locks up" and I cannot scroll up and down the list of accounts. Waiting for an hour or more doesn't help. - Even if I can scroll and select an account, often selecting a new email locks up that account. The selected message will not display, but I can usually select another account and read mail normally. - Often when replying to a message, the new message's input locks up after one or a few characters. I hate this solution, especially as it reeks of the typical Windows "fix" with killing processes or rebooting. Killing the Thunderbird processes, often requiring that to be done 6-10 times often restores full functionality. Sometimes that doesn't work at all and often rebooting "fixes" it. Any direction or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
