bonbon,
Do you still see this when using version 91?

Looks like maybe you had an oauth prompt open, perhaps in some background/hidden dialog?

more info still needed

Hello,
having a similar problem, I've found this bug report, so I'll "jump" in as I would quite like a fix.
My issue is specifically with Thunderbird 102 on Windows 10.
I've been a keen Thunderbird user for more years than I can remember (minimum 17, very probably much more).
Recently, I was using Thunderbird 91 or 92 ... and everything was, more or less, fine.
I upgraded to Thunderbird 102 last week because Mozilla's publicity around it made the new features appear very attractive.
Things still work: I've not lost any email, I can send and receive email, etc.
BUT, all day long, at random intervals, TB freezes just when I ask it to do something (e.g. clicking on a different folder from the one I was in, asking it to download email [I'm using pop, not Imap], clicking on an email to read it, etc.)
The freeze can take different forms; I've mainly noticed:

  • a message from Windows saying "Thunderbird is not responding" a few seconds later, or a couple minutes later (variable), the action I requested is performed and everything seems fine
  • TB freezes with no message or other symptoms than the fact that it is completely unresponsive. I can do whatever I want with other programs (Windows is not frozen), but all and any TB window just doesn't repond
  • Same as just above, but with the TB window going a bit translucent

I had that behaviour a while back on another vertion of TB, but through the upgrades it had gone away.
I've just experienced it again with TB 102.
Thanks in advance for your help.
