Continue freezing (often using thunderbird)

General Help
1

Hi all !
I bought Zorin OS 16 pro . I had to import a lot of mails from my thunderbird linux mint previous installation but the only way to import them was installing thunderbird from the snap store (Canonical) .
My laptop is a hp Pavilion i7 14-dv0018nl Notebook, Intel Core i7-1165G7, RAM 16 GB, SSD 1 TB, NVIDIA GeForce MX450 2 GB .
After the firts uses of the pc, the notebook continuosly freezed . I tried this solution : > sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell

sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop
(see: Zorin OS 16 freezes - #2 by Aravisian)
The situation became better but now I have a lot of problem with thunderbird which continue to freeze (for example trying to open a pdf file ateched to an e mail ready to be sent ...but also trying to send an e mail) . Some suggestions ? Thnk you a lot
Alberto

Explain me pls: first step removing thunderbird using software manager. Right? Second step trying to reinstall it using sudo apt -get install thunderbird from the Shell? Would I loose the emails?

I imported the mails by copying and pasting the thunderbird dir. That was impossibile using the thunderbird version installed from flatpack. Other ways to import them?

Ops this is not a solution

THIS could be the solution: https://github.com/flathub/org.mozilla.Thunderbird
It seems not to work with me but I will try more

At the end I solved installing thunderbird by Canonical, snapcraft.io and copying .thunderbird dir in /snap/thunderbird/common . That's all .
