Why is thunderbird so slow to send messages now
Tbird now takes much longer to send emails than it used to, seems to hang for a long time when the green status bar has reached the end saying message being delivered before eventually saying message sent

have you tried disabling the email scanning component in your anti virus program?
No but avg hasnt changed its always been there, this slowness is a new phenomenon only started a few weeks ago maybe due to an update by tbird?

And maybe by an update to AVG. Given few reports of slowness and few users of AVG, my money in on AVG.

were it not for the fact that it behaves the same on a pc not running avg and a different version of windows I would agree but the one constant is tbird

I have noticed this pattern too. I don't use AVG, so my bet it's something in Tbird ...
