I'm posting this again because I've run out of ideas to try and maybe
someone out there has something new to suggest. It's hard for me to
believe that I'm the only one experiencing this given that my system is
pretty vanilla. I'm running SM 2.39 with no add-ons or extensions
except
those that came with the SM version, on a Win 8.1 Pro system. My email
is a POP account with Earthlink. When I forward an email sometimes, but
not always, SeaMonkey locks up the system for about 90 seconds and I
cannot do anything but tell Windows to close SeaMonkey to get control
again unless I wait for those 90 seconds. During the lock-up I see a
small status window that says " Status: Mail sent successfully" and
which contains a green status bar that varies from 100% down to about
50%. The tiny blue arrow in the list of emails that indicates I've
forwarded this one is not posted until after the system becomes
unfrozen
and the status window goes away. Forwarding inline or as an attachment
makes no difference and forwarding in plain text vice html also
makes no
difference. I've tried running in "Safe" mode, and I've tried
creating a
new profile and running under it to no avail. Very annoying. The
problem
does not occur when I forward an email using Gmail. Should I post this
in Bugzilla?

This problem is not limited to forwarding messages. It also happens,
much less frequently,
when I send a new message or reply to something in a newsgroup.

Are any anti-virus programs running?
Since it happens with both email and newsgroups I would suspect something
external to SM. Who is your NG provider?
(btw, your type of Gmail acct is usually called Web Mail.)
If you use anti-virus you can try turning it off and see what happens to
mail.
In any case, there is no need to scan outgoing items, only incoming.
I use AVG but have the email checking turned off. I'm tending to agree
with those who suggest something outside of SM as the cause, most likely
Earthlink, my ISP. I'd try to pursue the issue with their tech support
but am not optimistic that anything would come of it. An alternative, I
guess, would be to change my mail to IMAP and see if that makes a
difference. Maybe I'll try that first.
After reviewing the comments here I think I'm back where I started. My
problem involves outgoing mail which doesn't use POP or IMAP but uses
SMTP so changing my email to IMAP isn't going to address the problem.
That leaves Earthlink, my ISP, as the chief suspect on this issue. Maybe
I should just switch to Web Mail for all my mail accounts.
