I'm not comfortable with this approach; the message size we get (which is actually the size of one text part of the message, accidentally set when downloading parts of a MIME multipart message separately) is not guaranteed to be larger or smaller than the number of line breaks in the entire message. It usually is, for very large messages, but this won't be reliable. I'm pretty close to having a clean way to not record the wrong size when we're downloading a part. I'm not sure how it will work for users with and existing wrong size in their message DB, they may need to manually rebuild the folder. -- 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.

As per the request in bugzilla comment 7, here is the log from running up thunderbird. Before the run I compacted the INBOX (to about 18MB IIRC). INBOX had no business growing (no new mail during the run), but it tripled in size in a couple of minutes. There were 440 messages in it. (username server name modified in this log) - it is Dovecot. ** Attachment added: tbird.log.gz https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1068921/+attachment/3410591/+files/tbird.log.gz -- 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: New Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Yesterday I noticed that my Internet connection keeps transferring a lot of data.

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.

On disk the Inbox has 230MB. And individual mails that have attachments report their size (correctly) in the attachment list at the bottom as 3-4 MB, but are listed as 30kb in the message list. I have a feeling that this might have something to do with the mail having a graphic in the signature, and separate attachments, but I'm not sure. Those mails are coming from Outlook.
