I am finding each successive release less and less usable since v10.

1. Calendar; I cannot touch this without losing all ability to read messages. The renderer is blocked by the calendar synch thread and nothing works properly again until I terminate the task (exit will not stop the calendar synch thread) and restart. Spoiler alert: despite locking me out and effectively crashing TB, the calendar itself never finishes syncing and is never usable.

2. With this release, every time I open the ticker view (the only way I read new messages), I am getting a chrome source viewer window pop up in front of the message. This is beyond an annoyance. Nobody else is reporting this, so it must be to do with me and my configuration.

3. I'm on the same LAN as the server and yet I have 2-5 second pauses every minute or so while trying to change folder, open a message, check mail, re-filter messages or even empty a local junk folder. All speed advantage I used to have by using TB is a distant memory.

4. While writing a more lengthy email that takes a bit longer to compose, the autosave as draft-in-outbox is triggering the outgoing message filter set and moving the parked draft to wherever a filter may deem the sent message would belong. When I go back to the folder after sending, there can be 4 or 5 copies of the sent message with the parked flag set in that folder, neatly tucking into the thread.

For me, this is by far the buggiest and least usable rendition of the software to date. I wouldn't even know how to start putting these notes into the BugTraq system as there is no evidence and, with nobody else reporting similar, seem to be "just happening to me".
