Actually, it seems to have been rather a user error in my case. :) The problem occured when I had limited the size of e-mails to be downloaded to 100kB. That was the case ever since I started using TB almost a year ago. So that those large e-mails (and also their attachments) were downloaded each time the e-mail was opened or the attachments saved. After disabling of the mail size limit in account options the problem seems to be gone. TB then downloaded all the previously too large e-mails. It now still shows "loading" for a short time when a large e-mail is opened, but that seems to be loading from hard disk (which goes very busy during that time) while the network connection is idle. I gueass that rather short loading time now is probably a result of the compression I have activated in TB for the e-mail files, and the subsequent need to decompress when opening an e-mail. So, there seems to be no issue for me after all. -- 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/275471 Title: mozilla attachments are dowloaded multiple times Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Invalid Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird scenario. open thunderbird and a message (new or old, doesnt matter) with a big attachment, lets say a .jpg that is 2Mb. and for the sake of argument lets also say it is the first new message of your day. So TBird automatically focuses on the first message, and you can watch the progress bar as it loads the message.... some time later, the load is done. hey, the image has a funny resolution in this view, so i double-click on the message and pop up a message window. AND THEN THE MESSAGE WINDOW DOWNLOADS THE oh-so- fargin-lovely 2Mb AGAIN. no, this is not all. No, TBird can be made to DL that sucker in all sorts of odd ways. It is very annoying and seems so unnecessary. Are mail messages ever actually volatile? And even if they were, for what fraction of hte people would they be like that? this is probably not a "bug" per se; but my bet is a lot of people would like to download that 2Mb just once. b.t.w., in this scenario I have an IMAP-SSL connection to my server. ubuntu 8.04 hardy thunderbird: Installed: 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 Candidate: 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 Version table: 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0 500 http://mirror.pacific.net.au hardy-security/main Packages *** 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 0 500 http://mirror.pacific.net.au hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://mirror.pacific.net.au hardy/main Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Sep 28 21:21:28 2008 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: mozilla-thunderbird None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-thunderbird.list] PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/275471/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
