More like replacing one problem with another. My #thunderbird was taking 10 seconds to handshake and read my outlook mail. I switched to #betterbird and that problem disappeared.

If you look at all the outstanding bug requests on #tbird, you'll see why #Mozilla products are no longer the browser/email client of choice.

Speak for yourself 😉

A show handshake can be caused by sooo many different things, and without having even a hint of what's causing it, you can't simply blame it on TB.

Start by watching what's happening on the network: big change that TB is waiting for packets from the server.

I may not have noted in my original post, but I have tried both TB and BB many times over several weeks including TB updates and in all instances TB did not work and BB did.

So I think it's a fair assumption that the problem is with TB. They must have made a change in their fork that BB did not.

And as I said, if I keep trying TB updates it will probably be fixed at some point and I can continue using TB then.
