Created attachment 674524 WIP: Call DiscardNewMessage() with non-null stream to avoid early exit
This is part 2 of the fix, when we detect a mismatch between the expected size of a message and the actual size we try to take the message back out of the local store. Because of some interactions with parameter-validity checking, the downloaded message contents weren't actually removed from the local mbox file. This would cause the file to grow, but shrink back to proper size when the folder is compacted. The immediate trigger for the problem is that we're getting a bogus size for the message at http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm- central/source/mailnews/base/util/nsMsgDBFolder.cpp#1707; I haven't figured out why that's happening yet. -- 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: In Progress Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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.
