One thing I just discovered - I Compacted my INBOX and this has had a
marked improvement. I have noticed that Thunderbird is still downloading
each messaging on a message-by-message basis though - I have marked my
INBOX as an Offline folder, so shouldn't it download all messages when
new mail comes instead of just downloading the headers?

Title:
  Displaying emails and marking emails is too slow

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use Thunderbird with GMail IMAP. I used to use Evolution using the
  same service and net connection.

  I have noticed that When I start Thunderbird and new emails are
  synced, clicking on those emails can often take 4 - 10 seconds to
  display an email. Likewise selecting individual or group emails and
  press M to mark as read or S to star them often shows a long lag time
  to successfully complete the operation.

  I never had these kinds of lag issues in Evolution, so I suspect there
  is something going on in Thunderbird, but these delays significantly
  impact the usability and efficiency of using Thunderbird for email.
