Actual results: Depending on the session activity, lots of files left in /tmp. Typical files: nscopy.tmp nsemail-1.eml nsemail-2.eml nsemail.eml nsemail.html nsmail.tmp These files are owner read/write only. If left alone, more such files accumulate during each Thunderbird session. Not a priority, just somewhat sloppy, like a memory leak. Expected results: Those files should have been deleted upon each session close.

The four nsmail*.tmp files are all copies of the same jpg image that I sent in one message as a lone attachment. In examining the other files, I noticed that I need to change my habit of replying to a recent message, then changing the subject and deleting the old content to create a new message, suffering from congenital indolence as I oftentimes do. I found huge reference lists of previous threads in the header. I was under the impression that a new Subject meant a new message. Apparently you can change the subject in any reply and it remains a reply to the previous message. Perhaps it is that habit that leaves behind the /tmp files? The nscopy files are all the same message in text and html format with the attached image in mime format. I cleared ns*, opened t-bird, sent myself a test message, then closed t-bird. These four are all from that message, in both txt and html format. nscopy.tmp nsemail.eml nsemail.html nsmail.tmp I download the latest tarball, extract the Thunderbird folder, then move it to /usr/lib64. Would installing via a package manager change the result?

Me too, under controlled shutdown in Windows. However my %tmp% also has a couple hundred files over a period of a few months so there must be circumstances where cleanup doesn't happen. Anyway, among the open bugs we have https://mzl.la/2MGutmu and the last bug fixed was perhaps Bug 235432 - Mailnews/Thunderbird leaves unused nsqmail.tmp (nsqmail-*.tmp, nsemail.eml) files in temporary folder (TEMP or /tmp) after quit Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1853007/comments/5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2019-10-23T08:51:45+00:00 Jorg K wrote: OK, I spontaneously checked C:\Users\jorgk\AppData\Local\Temp and found four left-over temp files :-( nsemail.eml with versions -1 and -2 and a nsmail.eml. The former three only contained headers, the latter one contained a message attachment, so message which I had sent out as an attachment. So yes, there must be some hole somewhere.
