Â*Â* so I'm trying to migrate all the thingds I do in XP to the Win7
install in this comp (dual boot) and I'm using Thunderbird version
68.9.0 and it ain't workin' Continuous not responding , can't do
much since it keeps locking up . Anybody else here used this combo
and had problems ? Any solutions ? I'm moving it all over to 7
because so much just won't function in XP any more . There are a
few thing I prefer XP for , so I plan on keeping is as a backup OS
, just trying to get as much moved over as I can and
email/newsgroups are a primary task for my desktop . It's a pain in
the ass to keep rebooting when I want to change over .

Try these guys:

mozilla.support.thunderbird

But be careful, it is a "moderated" group.Â* Watch
who/what you insult.

Also, this sounds like a hardware issue.Â* Test

Â*Â* The Win7 install is in a nearly-new 500 Gb hdd - I had some music
stored on it before I re-purposed it . The motherboard is also new ,
the old one still functioned but was not Win7 compatible . Everything
works just swell in XP , though the T-bird version here is
52.something and it's a little slow sometimes . I'm wondering if I
need to step back to an earlier version ... or if I need to dump
T-bird and go with another email/newsgroup client . Anybody using
Outlook ?

Unless something changed, it works well with W7 and now W10.Â* If
nothing else, try removing and reinstalling.

Â* Your reply hasn't shown up yet on the desktopÂ* , I have already
uninstalled/reinstalled once , no change at all . This comp just updated
to the newest , so far no problems - you were referring to T-bird ?

Â* Additional note , I also just set up my email on the desktop , don't
know if that would make a difference . This comp is set up only with
newsgroups .

Yes, Thunderbird.
I use T-bird only for newsgroups too. I've used Agent but this is
better. You can use it free but since it works well and I use it a lot
I did make a donation for it.
