If you are not seeing the crash reporter, then you are seeing a hang.  :)

You can use 68 unsupported, but not ideal of course.

Please copy your profile to a safe location so we can debug this further at some point in the (near) future.

Righto, will do. I'm setting up new profile bit by bit.

Is there a file from old profile I can copy which has the application settings in it? i.e. things I set under Tools/Options.

I mean the whole profile directory. Details at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data

Yup, no worries. I'll keep the old profile.

It's calendars :( After getting my emails all setup in new profile I decided to enable calenders and, you guessed it, all locks up :( Anyway to turn off calenders without loading the application?

Fixed new profile hang by renaming the calendar-data folder under profile. This makes no difference to the original profile issue though.

I don't understand this in the context of the first sentence. Removing calendar-data folder, from which profile, didn't help what aspect of what you are seeing?

Spoke too soon ...

Ok, sorted new profile again (I think) - renamed all the addons, deleted calendar-data folder and TBsync folder. All seems to be ok again.

I am never using calendars in Thunderbird again!!!

I remembered I had problems before a year ago with calendars and thunderbird. Always been a nightmare for me.

Sorry, removing that folder from original profile didn't fix the problem I had previously.

It has fixed the problem (it too started to hang after I added calendars) in the 2nd profile.
