I did not skip ahead to the the All Mail section, but it was there that I noticed I couldn't actually unsubscribe to All Mail. Yes, those are the directions I followed. Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. I'm still not sure why they didn't show up all the other times I ran chkdsk, but at this point I don't care. I wouldn't have thought that just 4 bad sectors on a 1TB hard drive would have wreaked that much havoc, but they must have been in a critical spot, because they certainly caused a lot of headaches. My computer has 3 drives on it, so I swapped a few things around and managed to get all three reformatted and running smoothly, with all my data intact and backed up.Īnd Thunderbird seems to be back to its original self, running smooth and quick! This is a real blessing, as I have tried a few email clients as alternatives, but none of them did what TB does for me. I backed up my original C: drive to an extrernal drive, just in case. Once I had migrated my Windows 10 and everything to the new drive, I made it the C: drive and all was good. This was maddening and very time consuming.įinally, I was able to do a sector-by-sector clone using good old Windows Disk Manager. None of the programs could do it successfully, and all failed after getting to about 96% finished. I had an extra 2TB hard drive so I formatted it and cloned my C: drive to it. I ran various software apps (EaseUS, AOMEI, Seagate, Windows Disk Mgr, etc), but could not fix the bad sectors. I ran chkdsk for the umpteenth time and this time, it said I had 4 bad sectors on my main hard drive. Modified Augat 3:11:56 PM PDT by Wayne Mery Thanks for allowing me to blow off some long-held frustration. So, unless a miracle comes along, I reckon I'll have to cut bait and find a replacement for Thunderbird. But a warning, that I have likely already tried the fixes offered. If you have any fresh ideas, I'm very open to hearing them. And yes, I have donated many times over the years, and I'm happy to do so. But I'm really tired of being a beta tester. I'm a longtime user and have not found any email client that comes close to the way TB works for me, so I'm VERY reluctant to leave. As I said, three years of this is enough, and I see complaints about this going back even further. I'm pretty much out of ideas, but I continue to browse online, looking for answers. Eventually, it releases and works again, only to freeze up a few minutes later. I cannot open Task Manager and force a shutdown. Sometimes it will freeze the computer so that I cannot do ANYTHING. Most of the time, it freezes so that I cannot shut TB down. Right now, it's open on another screen and has been frozen for about 3 minutes, and just unfroze. it just seems to do it at random, constantly. It exhibits the same behavior that many here are seeing: freezes when I try to click on something freezes when I try to reply to an email freezes for no apparent reason. Thunderbird is the ONLY piece of software on this PC that locks it up. gave an exception to TB in my Windows Defender started Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode disabled all add-ons and extensions in TB reinstalled Windows 10, upgraded all associated files, drivers, etc. deleted various profiles and created new ones, deleted various config files as suggested. upgraded countless times (now on Ver 102.9.0, 64 bit, Win 10, 32GB RAM, 3TB hard drive) I have done everything I can think of, and everything I have read about online to deal with the constant freezing. For me, this has now gone on for almost 3 years. I have had the same issues with TB freezing and locking up my PC that many here have had.
