    Check to see if the portable version stores it's profile here:

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

    or

    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Thunderbird

    If it does - cut and paste those folders to flash drive so you have a backup then unplug it.

    Try running a fresh copy of Thunderbird Portable.

    I think that if you installed Thunderbird it would still write data to a shared profile. So try a clean fresh profile and see if it's any better.

    Or else try creating a new test profile and see if it works okay:

    Using Multiple Profiles - Mozilla Support Community

    Restoring and backing up profiles manually:

    Profiles - Where Thunderbird stores your messages ... - Mozilla Support Community
    I have the TB Portable files on D: drive on both computers.

    Where are the profile(s) ?

    Try searching all drives for folders with partial name .default

    Okay I think those are from the installed version of Thunderbird.

    See here for Thunderbird Portable profiles:

    Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition Support | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable and cloud drives

    Also note the warning under "Improving Thunderbird Portable's Performance"

    There was a minor update from 53 to 53.0.1 52 to 52.0.1(portable). It is more responsive at the moment but it used to be responsive in the past. I'm tending to rely more on direct internet access to Outlook Mail after these client issues.

    I have this exact problem... Outlook.com/Hotmail accounts have this nasty lag when you want to retrive emails... this happens with other mail clients as well... except... guess who? Outlook (Office suite) and the Windows 10 Mail app...

    I don't know if it will worth to setup the account using pop3 instead and see if the lag is gone... has anyone tried? IMAP is better because syncronizes your web folders... I ignore if this is a move to either push you into the web app, or the native Win10 client... as this only happens with third party email clients.
