\"thunderbird_logo\"<\/a>I standardized on Mozilla Thunderbird email because I check email on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux machines. When first installed about 6 months ago, everything seemed to be working just fine. I filter all my many email accounts through pobox.com<\/a> which has a great implementation of IMAP\/SMTP and also a wonderful email spam filter.<\/p>\n

Then Thunderbird started doing the stumble-bumbling trick, of playing dead for minutes at a time. It would just sit there in a comatose state. It was actually locking up the complete computer. CTL-Alt-Delete was needed to escape.\u00a0 It began happening more and more often.<\/p>\n

At first I thought it might be a network issue or something in Ubuntu. However, windows had exactly the same problem. It would do this narcolepsy thing when it wasn\u2019t checking the mailbox. This got very annoying when I realized it wasn\u2019t a passing problem.<\/p>\n

I chose Thunderbird as I wanted a common email look between operating system, but Thunderbird was crippling my productivity.<\/p>\n

I am back on (NEW) Outlook 2016 on the Office (Win10) computer. It exhibits none of the problem<\/em> of Thunderbird\u2019s sleeping habits. That proves it was not an issue at pobox.com or the network connection.<\/p>\n

I like the operation and look of Thunderbird when it is working, but I cannot live with the constant lockups.<\/p>\n

Outlook offers far more service features than I need but it is part of my Office 365 package subscription and I just received the latest update from Office 2013 to Office 2016. I can go with the flow.<\/p>\n

Sorry little Thunderbird, I have to set you free from the WIN10 cage, Don\u2019t look so blue\u2026 you have always been free.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep you on Ubuntu and see if you can get better and stay awake.<\/p>\n

Update, Update. 10\/12\/15:<\/span>\u00a0 Thunderbird self updated a week or so ago and since then has been working very well on my Linux box with my email service IMAP. So perhaps my issues were known and fixed. As I said, I like Thunderbird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
