With 99 beta I'm seeing this consistently, with hourglass in the tab bar and progress meter in status bar. **Possible** triggers (I haven't fully nailed it down): * manually getting messages * (quickly?) switching between newsgroups or news servers Restarting Thunderbird clears the condition for a short time. Change to mail folders or other newsgoups or servers does not help. It seems worse to me in recent weeks, but I can't pin point a time frame.
