One of the authors of this thread left to Postbox. I checked PostBox if the IMAP-messages I have also get stuck in Postbox. 3 out of 5 get through.
Of those 3 2 get through when I move them to another directory, and then let them reload completely before I open them in Thunderbird. The other one (12 MB) contains two attachments of which one refuses to load. The other 2 messages also fail to download in postbox. Postbox however doesn't lock up the downloading of the rest. Conclusion: Postbox will probably have a better heuristic or cuts impossible downloads earlyer, but still uses this heuristic philosophy over a reliable method. -- 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.
