More info: I disabled the global indexing and the enless spinning stopped.
I then removed the global index sqlite databases, restarted thunderbird and re-enabled the global indexing. After rebuilding the index, all was well. So in the end, I'm not sure if this was an event (i.e. corrupted database), an incompatibility between two versions of thunderbird, or a migration bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992326 Title: Thunderbird polls continuously, using an entire core Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This behavior began with upgrade to 12.04, no problems in 11.10. strace reveals that the cpu is consumed by continuous polling.
