1. Replaced software.

2.  I moved the mouse pointer, and after several minutes of the mouse pointer with blue wheel spinning and spinning the spinning stops. Then I clicked the inbox, send box, trash box, etc.

3.   I moved the mouse pointer, and after several minutes of the mouse pointer with blue wheel spinning and spinning the spinning stops.  Then I attempted to click on the "Add-on Manager" tab which opened when I opened Thunderbird. 

4. I returned here to continue to type, stopped and returned to the manage extensions window, only to find that emails in the Draft box which I had clicked on in an effort to activate the mouse pointer with the blue wheel spinning attached (but with no apparent result) and  had now opened approximately 10 minutes later.  

5. I then returned to the Draft box, clicked on the Draft box of a different email address, and using the mouse pointer with blue wheel spinning attached, I clicked on an email in an effort to activate the mouse pointer with blue wheel spinning attached.

6.  Then I attempted to click on the "Preferences" tab which opened when I opened Thunderbird. 


Actual results:

1.  No change with software change.

2.  Inbox, send box, trash box, and other boxes did not open.

3. I was able to click on and navigate through the "Add-on Manager," window/page.  I was able to navigate around the page, use the pointer to enable and disable various extensions, etc., and at no time did the spinning wheel appear. 

4. N/A

5. An email opened approximately 10 seconds later.  Once opened I was able to reset the "Send Later" parameters and click send and the email moved out of the window view into its proper place in the Draft mail box. 

6.  I was able to click on and navigate through the "Preference," window/page.  I was able to navigate around the page, use the pointer to enable and disable various extensions, etc., and at no time did the spinning wheel appear.


Expected results:

1. Operate seamlessly.

2. Inbox, send box, trash box, and other boxes should open.

3. What did happen: I was able to click on and navigate through the "Add-on Manager," window/page.  I was able to navigate around the page, use the pointer to enable and disable various extensions, etc., and at no time did the spinning wheel appear. 

4. N/A

5. The email should not take approximately 10 seconds to open but that it opened in 10 seconds or so versus 10 minutes or so, is progress. This should have happened: Once the email opened I was able to reset the "Send Later" parameters and click send and the email moved out of the window view into its proper place in the Draft mail box. 

6.  I should have been able to click on and navigate through the "Preference," window/page.  I was able to navigate around the page, use the pointer to enable and disable various extensions, etc., and at no time did the spinning wheel appear.
