I also got a _pretty_ slow Thurdebird and after investigating found a 190G ImapMail folder.
I deleted the files and upgraded from 16.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 from default repo. Now (after two days) the ImapMail seems to stay way smaller and Thunderbird faster all to together. -- 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/1074260 Title: Thunderbird heavy IMAP traffic downloading messages Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Fix Released Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Thunderbird (as of version 16?) generates a lot of IMAP traffic, continually redownloading messages.
