User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; Media Center PC 5.0; InfoPath.2)
Build Identifier: Version 1.4.0.14 and Version 2 alpha 1

Similar to bug 314702. I have been using thunderbird for over 1 year with no problems. For the past two months, it freezes between 20 seconds to 1 minute after startup, no matter what I do (safe mode, regular operation, 32 bit compatibility mode, etc.). This problem is starting to have implications in my work and would like to resolve it. Do you have any suggestions?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Thunderbird
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Happens whenever thunderbird starts on my machine. Only started happening about a month ago. Machine has no viruses.

Expected Results:  
Software freezes and must be stopped via the task manager.

Should have continued to operate normally.

If you have accounts set to check for new msgs on startup, try disabling them one after one, to narrow the cause down. 

Antivirus/firewall issue?
