Can't start Thunderbird without hanging and force quit. [Mac] Developed after trying to delete a mass quantity of emails. CAUSE unknown (problem gone)
I have rendered Thunderbird unusable! Every time I start it up now, it crashes immediately and I have to force it to quit.
I deleted thousands of emails, folder by folder, and it was going well, but I must have overloaded it with work or something, because it crashed. Now I can't even try to troubleshoot, since it won't actually run.
I reinstalled it- same problem. I tried to open it in safe mode- same problem.
Help!

Hi! Thanks for the response! I should have mentioned that I use a Mac. OSX 10.9.5

Did we determine in this case exactly what is causing the problem?
No, I did not figure out what was causing the problem. Now, though, it seems to be working fine. After letting it "rest" for three days, I relaunched Thunderbird and it seemed to have worked itself out. This is not helpful for solving the glitch, but it's useable again and that's what I need!
Thanks.
I would postulate that the global index update may be a part of the issue, as could the actual IMAP synchronization. But I doubt we will ever really know.
