Over the last several months we have seen what seems like large delays in email delivery as well, we get emails at 11AM that are time stamped at 9:10. I thought it was a networking issue, but I can’t be sure. I wish I knew more about coding, to look under the hood to examine things further.

I guess if TB debug log was enabled (as was suggested)- maybe the issue would become apparent from TB debug log ?
I guess i should encourage POP users to switch to IMAP anyhow ?
got this from problem user:
Mozilla Thunderbird released an update which I just installed.
Problem solved.
I guess Tbird had a problem that the new release addressed.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm mystified why my issue was only with one account. Perhaps it was something to do with the size of the database.
yesterday it was
I'm still experiencing a 40 second delay to retrieve emails for xxx
I have changed the pop port to 110 for the server but that did not work at all.
I have reinstalled my email client TBird but no change, anyway all the other accounts on TBird are working ok but they are MAPI not POP.
