Email protection settings

I'm using Thunderbird 102.10.0 32bit as my email client.

I have multiple email accounts setup in Thunderbird.

All are IMAP with the exception of one account set up as POP.

The POP gmail account is having problems while Bitdefender is running and scanning emails. Any time I check for new messages or click on a message, Thunderbird shows it as loading and becomes unresponsive. It can take several minutes to display any message I select, and during this time, the program becomes unresponsive. Even deleting a selected message can take minutes.

This does not happen to any gmail account set up as IMAP in Thunderbird.

Is there any solution to fix this POP email scanning issue?
