Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[James Terry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Any time I get new mail from POP3 accounts or send mail (having my sent mail
saved locally) I get a short ~1-2 second system freeze. I also get this freeze
when moving messages between 2 folders, or marking an e-mail as read/unread or
junk/not junk.

I thought it might be fragmentation, but I have defragmented multiple times with
no decrease in freeze time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Easiest way to reproduce is have a backround application, like winamp or media
player playing a song and then follow these steps
1.Open up Thunderbird
2.Mark an e-mail as read/unread
3.System freezes for a few seconds (aka, music pauses)

Actual Results:  
The system makes a temporary pause, and then resumes it's normal routine

Expected Results:  
There should have been no pause made by the system. This problem isn't
earth-shattering, but it is really annoying.

do you have a virus checker installed and running? Or any other extensions?

Ok, I feel really stupid now. I have Avast Antivirus and it somehow got switched
to High sensitivity. When I switched it back down to normal, the problem
dissapeared.

Thanks for the help David
