My Thunderbird will mysteriously freeze in the way that it still responds, but won't show email if I click on it nor respond if I click any buttons on the toolbar. It does so after about 10 minutes of running; with or without use.

If I close it normally, a thunderbird.exe process is left behind in memory and I have to close it manually using Task Manager before being able to start Thunderbird in that profile. Sometimes, it'll crash upon starting and I have to try restarting again. It'll also occasionally crash when I try closing it through the window.

These symptoms, the first of which applies only if it does this at startup, seem to not appear if I start at offline.

This has only started happening since the upgrade from 0.9 to 1.0, which I did about four days ago.

I use Windows XP Home SP1, and I have the following programs running:

Whatpulse
Trillian
Keywallet
FreeRAM XP Pro
McAfee Internet Security Suite 6.0
Spybot SD resident
Leechget
Firefox
Thunderbird
Printer drivers

Could anyone help?

Thanks,
Laogeodritt

...what? Huh?

And it's been out for a month, if not more, IIRC. I did a clean install, meaning I uninstalled Thunderbird 0.9 then installed 1.0.
