Even after updating to 16.0.2, compacting, and repairing my large "All Mail" folder, I still have the problem of Thunderbird endlessly downloading my mail.
Note that while repairing my folder Thunderbird got to the point where it said it was "Downloading 9215 of 9209 messages". -- 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/1068921 Title: Mailbox grows endlessly, heavy traffic Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Lucid: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” source package in Natty: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: Yesterday I noticed that my Internet connection keeps transferring a lot of data. After a while I checked with nethogs and discovered this was caused by Thunderbird. Today I got a warning that my HDD was near full. In this 2 days, the mailbox had grown to 20 GB, while in reality it should be around 1 GB (a fresh zipped backup has 600 MB). I removed the .thunderbird folder and configured my IMAP mailbox from scratch. The same happened again. I think this is not related to a somehow special configuration of my PC bcs my colleague discovered it's the same on his machine. Without checking, he wouldn't have noticed yet bcs of a much bigger HDD... We couldn't yet find out what exactly happens / which data is transferred again and again. I suspect it's related to the last thunderbird update.
