Hi

Was wondering if someone could help me out?

I have a couple of G suite gmail accounts set up in my Thunderbird. One of the Gmail accounts runs fine, the other runs really slowly.

Sending emails takes a long time, you click on a message it takes ages to open etc.

The problem is the same on 2 different computers.

These are some of the things i've tried:-

1. Archiving all emails pre 2018 in inbox and sent, so these emails have now moved to the All Mail Folder

2. deleting inbox.msf

3. Repair folder

4. Deleting the email account and starting again. The problem re-occurs after it's downloaded them.

I would like to try unsubscribing from certain folders but when i click on "Manage Subscriptions", it just says please wait. On the other Gmail account it comes up instantly.

I've noticed that i keep getting the white rectangular box in the bottom right hand side corner of my screen where it's telling you a new email is coming through, but it's just blank. I can close thunderbird, go to task manager and shut down the background process and it disappears. Then I re-open thunderbird the problem goes away for 10 mins then i get the problems as above and the box appears again.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
