Attachments scanner taking lot of time

Thunderbird stores any setting that changes or create using tools → tools → account settings in the file prefs.js in profile and options.

The recommended way to add or modify a configuration that does not have its own button radio, checkbox or box of entry of such dialogues is to use tools → options → Advanced → General → Config Editor, equivalent to the Firefox above: config. You can search any preference using the field filter, and then double-click a preference to change it. You can also add options by right clicking anywhere in the list, select New from the shortcut menu, select the type (String, Boolean or integer) and type the name of the setting and its value.
Some alternatives:

• You can add or modify a configuration by editing prefs.js directly using a text editor. However, prefs.js does not contain all the settings, only contains any configuration that has changed. In fact, if you add an option with a default value of Thunderbird will quietly remove that line in the file the next time you run it. It is also not as tolerant as the configuration editor user errors and requires learning where the profile is stored.

Do not edit this file while Thunderbird is running since some of the settings can be overwritten when you exit, losing the changes.

1. View on the extension adds support for envelope: windows like in Firefox. Your envelope: settings window is the same as the Configuration Editor mentioned above.
2. The ChromEdit extension facilitates editing prefs.js or user.js without knowing its location. Officially no longer supported and you may have problems to find a version that works with future versions of Thunderbird.
3. The extension of the Mr Tech Toolkit, which is actively maintained includes among others features in extensions ViewAbout and the ChromEdit mentioned above.
