Thank you for waking me up ;)
No this bug is not totally gone, but it is very hard for me to tell how
to reproduce it, so I can imagine it'll be difficult to make a patch :)
However, the memory leak is less important, since I can let Icedove run
more than 24 hours without using swap memory. But it's still using more
than 300MB just doing nothing. My profile has 5 IMAP accounts, 1 POP, 1
NNTP server, and 23 RSS feeds. I'm using the following extensions :
- Français Language Pack 1.5.0.8 (Yes, it's not really an extension,
but it's listed so...)
- QuoteCollapse 0.7
- Display Mail User Agent 1.3
- Yet Another Mail Biff 0.6.7 (which is disabled)
Maybe I'll have time this week-end to test Icedove safe mode.

Is this bug gone for you?
If not,
can you please provide a list of extensions installed?
... and if you have extensions installed, please try to run
icedove -safe-mode
and let me know if things improve.

Since the last upgrade, I noticed that my icedove instance suffers from
a huge memory leak : it eats more than 400MB of RAM after only 6 hours
of execution ! I've not changed anything in my profile so I suggest it
comes from a Debian patch, but maybe Thunderbird itself.
Moreover, I'll be honoured if someone could tell me how to spot more
precisely the problem (packages, software, etc...). I really know that
"a memory leak" is not a helpful bug report, but I don't know yet how to
be more precise :)
Hi,
what version did you come from? Does downgrading to your previous
version help?
