I’m a regular Thunderbird user from the begining of the project, but it only became my preferred e-mail client when I started use Lightning a long time ago.
I already reported this problem and all tyupe of solutions were gave to me, but none did work, including some of the written here in this post.
The only thing I can suspect that is my problem, is the calendar syncronization from Thunderbird. Because, everytime that Thunderbird freezes, it immediatly after shows the reminders pop-up window.
And… when I’m not using any online calendar at all… I have no performance issues. But… I already told this in the past, but nothing changed.
I’ve already tried to put Thunderbird proccess priority to Real-Time, but the behavior doesn’t get even better.
Would be very very nice to have a solution for this loooooooong time problem, reported over and over and over. Just google for it and there are several complaints.
There are 2 deffects that thunderbird didn’t solve that makes me always try new e-mail clients (ordered by loss of productivity):
- Freezes all the time. It’s cyclic, like something that have to happen from period to period;
- ICS not being processed by Lightning;
If there was none of these issues, I’d never consider using or testing a different solution.
