Hi,
Well, here I am with a big desktop new computer. I have 32 gigs of ram, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor, a Radeon RX 580 graphics card, and after 8 days of use Thunderbird does seem sluggish.

As you can see, Th is using the absurd amount of 4.2 gigs of ram. Not a problem, I have lots of it - but sometimes I type and the letters take a second to appear. Or click on a menu or option and I have to wait for it to get highlighted.
Conclusion: Thunderbird is indeed slow and a memory hog.
Ram seems normal for what I see here, one thing I found that helped alot with IMAP is I filter alot of mailinglists etc and end up with a large number of unread messages, marking old emails as read then changing some of my mail rules to mark stuff as read when it puts it in a folder (if i'm unlikely to read it anyway) made a big difference for me. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
