John:

[Assuming your "desktop" is a Mac or things are the same in the Windows version...]

In Tools / Account Settings, under your specific account name on the left, Server Settings, Message Storage section, you'll see the Local Directory setting, a directory path. Mine is [partially redacted] "/Volumes/xxxxxxx/Documents/xxxxxxx/technology/e-mail/Thunderbird/Michael.Collins_ownvolition.com". If you make a copy of that directory tree, you could presumably restore it if something got mucked up.

Does anyone have a suggestion for unfreezing the Thunderbird email client 
program on a desktop machine?

The three or so email addresses I have all load along with their various 
folders. The mouse's scrolling wheel scrolls through all the folders but the 
mouse pointer is inoperative. The folders and sub-folders are frozen.

I have tried using "ThunderFix" but it is ineffective. I suspect that the 
Thunderbird program has been corrupted.

Thunderbird works perfectly on my laptop.

When I go directly to my folder and sub-folder tree using my ISP's web mail 
facility the tree functions perfectly on both my desktop and laptop.

By downloading and re-installing the latest version of Thunderbird would there 
be any risk of corrupting, damaging or eliminating my existing folder and 
sub-folder tree of existing stored email traffic?

Thanks in advance for all and any helpful comments
