[ubuntu-za] Thunderbird behavior

[Jan]

Thanks Robin. Do you think that the Thunderbird issue is related to the 
Ubuntu OS? I had a similar experience of instability with 16.04 
initially, but after a fresh install it is now (and has been for some 
time) behaving very well. Its the most stable Ubuntu installation that I 
have had.
