Created attachment 675465 Test message with many inline images When I set the checkbox for maximum message size to store offline, with a limit of 50 kbytes, this message gets downloaded very inefficiently - each image attachment is requested from gmail separately, but for each inline image displayed we download the entire message (including separate downloads of each inline part) - order n^2 on the number of inline attachments.
Un-checking the limit on offline message store significantly reduces the problem. -- 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: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Natty: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Quantal: Triaged 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.
