Re: Is anybody working on Mulberry now?

I use Thunderbird 52.5.0 with a fast client running macOS 10.13.3 and a 
fast server running Dovecot 2.2.33.
It freezes up (infinite beach ball) several times a day, requiring force 
quit and relaunch.
It takes 10-20 minutes to start up when I launch it, except when I'm 
running it from a hotel room where it takes an hour.
Sometimes it fails to recognize new mail unless I quit and restart (and 
endure the 10-20 minute delay again).
Its searching ability is so slow that sometimes I start a search and go 
to bed and the search hasn't finished by morning.
(on mailboxes containing less than 6000 messages).
It is awful.
Also I have never figured out its message-composition features. On 
almost every message I send, it changes font in the middle of a word 
here and there. I'm sure there is some logic to how it does that, but 
I've never managed to figure it out.

I can't wait to try something else. I have Pine on a nearby machine and 
usually use that for searching and folder mongering.
