Created attachment 675468 call DiscardNewMessage properly, only update size when downloading full message
This includes my previous patch and also keeps track of when we're downloading an entire message, and only updates the message size in the DB on entire message downloads. This patch seems to fix the example message provided with the original report, after manually compacting or repairing the folder. While testing this I noticed that there is still a form of message that behaves badly whether this patch is applied or not; I attached an example of that message. I haven't debugged that issue 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: 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.
